                                        Information about the Greene County Master Gardener Program

The Master Gardener Program is a way to bring classroom expertise and practical knowledge about backyard gardening
to the homeowner.  The class is designed to teach individuals about several different topics related to horticulture, including
raising fruits and vegetables, designing perennial landscapes, and caring for your lawn, trees, and shrubs.

The program is designed to continue for one year.  In February, participants will spend nine weeks gaining knowledge in the
classroom for a total of 50 hours and then they are asked to contribute 50 hours of volunteer service on different gardening
projects and activities in and around the county.  As they complete both their training in the classroom and their volunteer service,
participants are then recognized as a certified active Master Gardener.  Currently, we have 102 active Master Gardeners in
Greene County.
