The Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program provides intensive class training in horticultural topics to qualified Ohio residents. These volunteers then contribute their time and efforts, assisting with educational programs and activities for Ohio residents through their local OSU Extension county office. Before becoming Master Gardener Volunteers, they are not required to have gardening skills or knowledge; however, a passion for learning about gardening and sharing this knowledge with others is a must!
Working with county Extension personnel, Master Gardener Volunteers provide educational advice and services to their communities. This free service is offered by answering gardening questions from the public; conducting plant clinics; gardening activities with children and senior citizens to beautify the community and give advice on community or demonstration gardens.
