Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who share a love of gardening, an enthusiasm for learning, and a commitment to helping others.  Perhaps you've met a Master Gardener working at a community garden, teaching a workshop, or answering questions at your extension county office.

Master Gardener Qualifications:  You can become a Master Gardener if you are interested in learning about plants and gardening, attend the training program, provide forty hours of volunteer service, and are willing to help others.

Please check out our Master Gardener brochures to find out more about the program and how you can be a part of it:
