Master Gardeners
Master Gardener Extension Volunteers
The 2024 Master Gardener training is full. Please inquire next August for the 2025 training. Contact Sarah Brodd if you have any questions: smiths@uga.edu or (404) 298-4080.
Master Gardener Extension Volunteers are trained every year and veterans receive additional training to keep them current on horticultural issues. These volunteers assist us in all areas of our program and help us handle a large volume of citizen information requests. Demonstration sites on composting, conservation and gardening are available for citizens to visit county-wide.
Master Gardener training is “THE” training for all who are interested in volunteerism and serving our communities. This twenty-two (22) part series is offered once a year, and it provides fifty (50) hours of training for a small fee and your commitment to return fifty hours of volunteer service. The volunteer hours are spent assisting the Extension office with its educational efforts.
Each year we offer this training series between the beginning of January through the end of March. However, the application process for the training is held in the fall prior to the training. Interested applicants should inquire about the application procedures and deadlines through their local county extension office.
