                                                            Greene County Master Gardener Mission

To promote the adoption of environmentally friendly gardening techniques while contributing to the betterment of Greene County and the well being of its citizens.

                                        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.

If you are interested in becoming a Greene County Master Gardener, contact Barbara Mills at 372-9971 or e-mail mills.35@cfaes.osu.edu.
