Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in
their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn
and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people.
What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special
training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master
Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension
office to provide horticultural-related information to their communities.
