Growing communities and a better Georgia from the ground up.
The Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteer (MGEV) Program connects UGA Extension, plant enthusiasts, and communities across the state. MGEVs share UGA Extension consumer horticulture programming about selection and care of plants for ornamental value, recreation, and home food production. Master Gardeners teach community members how to use plants and gardening to improve their environment, personal health, and quality of life.

Conyers, GA
Invasive plants and insects are becoming an increasing challenge for Georgia gardeners and homeowners. Many plants, bushes, and trees that were popular to buy 10 years ago are now considered invasive.

Bring your questions, whether it’s about a troublesome plant you planted years ago or a pest you’re seeing now, and get reliable answers to help protect your landscape and local ecosystems.
