Volunteer Opportunities

Master Gardener Program

Master Gardeners receive sixty hours of training from January through March. Once trained, these volunteers give time in a variety of ways, such as answering gardening questions, designing and operating exhibits, displays and demonstrations. They also have an opportunity to make presentations to groups requesting gardening programs and workshops; to work with 4-H clubs; or to assist with community service projects. Commitment includes successful completion of a twelve-week training program, a minimum of sixty hours of volunteer service the first year and a minimum of thirty hours each following year. Applications are available at the Extension Office.
