Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who provide research-based, home horticulture information and education to local communities through ISU Extension programs and projects.  Master Gardener program participants gain a broad knowledge base in 13 horticultural subject areas.  In 2008, Mills County Master Gardeners contributed over 1700 hours of horticulture-related community service!

The Mills County Master Gardeners is a county-wide group of Master Gardeners and avid local gardeners. 

The group sponsors several horticulture seminars on a variety of topics throughout the year, provides information at the Glenwood and Silver City Farmer's Markets with a question/answer booth, sponsors horticulture awards at the Mills County Fair, assists with Mills County Extension horticulture programming, hosts an annual Mills County Garden Walk, and holds an annual plant/bake sale fundraiser.  For more information on the group, please contact the Mills County Extension Office at (712) 624-8616.
