Master
Gardener Programs are volunteer programs affiliated with a
Cooperative extension service office and a land-grant university
that educates the public on gardening and horticultural issues.
Typically Master Gardeners answer questions via phone, speak
at public events and participate in community gardening displays.
Master Gardeners are active in 48 states in the United States
and four Canadian provinces. It is estimated that there have
been over 60,000 master gardeners. The Master Gardener Program
was started in Seattle, Washington in 1972, in response to
repeated requests for gardening information from community
members.[1] Once volunteers are accepted into a master gardener
program they are trained by Cooperative Extension office,
university, and local industry staff in subjects such as:
plant taxonomy, plant pathology, entomology, taxonomy, cultural
growing requirements, wildlife control, and integrated pest
management.
