If you enjoy gardening and like to learn to share your gardening knowledge, the Master Gardener program may be for you. All you need is an interest in gardening, an open mind, and a willingness to share your knowledge with others. The task to the Master Gardeners is to share unbiased, reliable, research-based information with home landscapers and gardeners. Another important function is to encourage young people to enjoy the pleasures of flower and vegetable growing.
The only thing our Master Gardeners enjoy more than gardening is sharing their love of gardening with others!
Each March, we host a gardening conference in Quincy called Gardener's Palette. Learn more and register for our 30th Annual Gardener's Palette!
These resources will help you learn more about the requirements of earning and maintaining your Master Gardener credentials.
