The first of Master Gardener Interns have completed their training.  They are ready to answer your questions during their weekly office hours (call 563-583-6496, Extension 19 to be connected or leave a message).  For more information click here.

The volunteer Master Gardeners complete 40 hours of training and 40 hours of volunteer service.  They volunteer at the Dubuque County Extension Office, answering questions for the general public.  Also Interns provide other service projects throughout the county.  Do you have an idea for a service project?  Would you like to become a Master Gardener, too?

If you have a problem plant or bug, you may bring it to the office in an airtight container.  Be prepared to provide information about the problem.  A Master Gardener will contact you -- or for quicker results, call ahead to confirm someone will be in to assist you.
