Educational Programs

Approximately 260 Master Gardener volunteers participate in garden-related educational activities throughout Allegheny County.

Master Gardeners attend a 20 session training program and then "pay back" by volunteering 50 hours in community-based gardening, beautification, and education efforts.

Speakers Bureau

The Speakers Bureau provides your organization or garden club with a 45 to 60 minute presentation by an expert Master Gardener. From the list provided below, you can select a topic that is appropriate for your group.

Garden in the Parks

Garden in the Park is an opportunity to meet with the Master Gardeners who work all around the county and especially in our demonstration gardens. We have fun activities, information booths, guest tables for related organizations and more.
