About the Master Gardener Program
The Master Gardener Program is an outreach educational program of Penn State Extension. Master Gardeners are volunteers who receive 50 hours of intensive horticultural training from Penn State. In return, Master Gardeners volunteer at least 50 hours during their first year and a minimum of 20 hours per year afterward to maintain their title. Master Gardeners also pursue ten hours of Continuing Education each year. Master Gardeners work on a variety of approved activities with the goal of educating the public about good home gardening practices. Volunteer and training services are coordinated at the county level through the Master Gardener Coordinator.
