Many of you have been working hard and want to enter those hours! Here are some simple instructions if it has been awhile.
Thanks to Beth Babbit for the following!
Instructions for Online Registration and Reporting
As a Master Gardener, you are responsible for turning in a volunteer hour report. You may choose to enter your own volunteer hours or have the designated record keeper enter them for you. To do this, everyone must register to be verified as a legitimate Master Gardener by a Extension agent. If you do not have access to a computer, please have the designated record keeper register you and enter contact, profile and hour information.
Step 1. Go to the Tennessee Master Gardener
Website.
Step 2. Click on the “Master Gardener Resources” link on the right column.
Step 3. Read the page. If you have not registered, click the word “register.”
Step 4. Enter your first and last name, then your entire email address. Use the dropdown menu to search for your agent’s name. Click the “Submit” button.
Step 5. Wait for an email confirmation from your Extension agent. You should have a new username and password. If you do not have a response within a week, please contact your county Extension office and ask to be verified.
Step 6. Log on the Master Gardener Resource Website (at the bottom of the page) by entering your user name and password. [If you have forgotten you password contact your agent to look it up on your profile. At this time usernames cannot be reset but this can also be verified by your agent.]
Step 7. Enter your contact information and submit. Be sure to indicate if you would like to be included in the county directory.
Step 8. Enter your profile and submit.
