Support for Communities
Master Gardeners initiate projects or align with a current activity in collaboration with individuals, a community agency, local government, or a service organization to support this chapter’s mission.
Master Gardeners are always ready to talk about gardening. Any type of gardening is open for discussion. The Smart Gardening program is one way of sharing the research based best practices.
