Master Gardener Program

The Master Gardener Program trains garden enthusiasts to learn, grow, and teach others about plants and gardening in the home landscape. Participants receive 40 hours of training via webcasting, face-to-face, and hands-on workshops, while interacting with others of similar interests. After completing their training, Master Gardener Interns volunteer 40 hours of service in county approved projects related to gardening education to become active Master Gardeners. To maintain active status, Master Gardeners must attend at least 10 hours of county approved continuing education and volunteer at least 20 hours of service on county approved projects.

Howard County Master Gardeners

Howard County Master Gardeners are a group of gardeners that have been trained in the Master Gardener program. They have contributed many hours of volunteer work in the county area.  The group meets quarterly and does not meet in November, December or January.  The major project each year is a plant sale at the Mighty Howard County Fair.
