FAVORITE PART OF ROLE
Seeing volunteers grow and draw not only on their horticultural training but on their life experience and skills too: engineering, farming, nursing, design, project management, logistics, teaching, mechanics, contracting, medicine, counseling, research, etc. All of these and more combine to bring life-enhancing benefits to our communities through Master Gardener action.
