My guess is that the County Extension - Master Gardener liason- could tell you. In the 14 years that I was a MG I never heard - but could be something out there.

What would be the benefit? When I was a MG you needed to perform the annual volunteer hours and training. If you could not - then you obviously could not stay active.

How would this be different?

I've been a MG since '97 and never heard that term.

Thanks for your responses. I've been an MG since 1992 and hadn't heard the term. Thought maybe I was missing something. Will check with Penn State.
