The Master Gardener Extension Volunteer (MGEV) program offers in-depth horticultural training to individuals who wish to share their knowledge and support Extension educational programs in the community.

Classes & Training

Participants receive classroom instruction and hands-on training covering a wide range of horticultural topics. Training includes lectures, study sessions, and assessments to ensure volunteers are prepared to assist with Extension projects.

Commitment & Requirements

Volunteers are expected to complete the required coursework, pass examinations, and contribute volunteer service hours to earn certification as a Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteer.

Enrollment

Class size is limited, and applications are required for participation. A program fee covers instructional materials, the Georgia Master Gardener Handbook, name tags, supplies, and a certificate of completion once training and volunteer hours are fulfilled.

Volunteer Opportunities

MGEVs support Extension programs by helping with educational events, community projects, and outreach efforts that promote research-based gardening and environmental stewardship.
