Master Gardener Extension Volunteer Program

The Master Gardener Extension Volunteer Program

The Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteer Program offers many opportunities to enhance your horticultural expertise and make new gardening friends as you become involved in community projects. This program involves horticultural service training that requires a minimum of 50 volunteer hours to earn certification during the first year and 25 volunteer hours every year thereafter, along with 10 hours of continuing education to stay in good standing. 

The Master Gardener application window is scheduled to reopen this fall. Stay tuned for updated information about the program and application process.
