What is a Master Gardener?

Master Gardeners are residents of a community who take an active interest in horticulture. They receive training in horticulture through the ISU Extension Service. In return for their training, Master Gardeners volunteer in community and Extension programs and projects related to horticulture.

Anyone with an interest in horticulture and gardening is eligible to become a Master Gardener. He or she should also have a willingness to share their knowledge and experience with others in the community.
