Master Gardeners are volunteers with a passion for gardening. We take pride in being able to help preserve, enhance, and beautify the many local demonstration gardens of our community.
We volunteer by planning & designing, planting, weeding, and maintaining demonstration gardens. We give garden tours to educate the public, so that many may experience and enjoy the gardens too.
