The Extension Master Gardener℠ Program is a volunteer training program offered through the County offices of North Carolina Cooperative Extension. Through this program, individuals are trained and certified in-home horticulture, gardening, and related areas. These individuals, in turn, volunteer their expertise and services under the direction of the local County Extension agent. Master Gardener volunteers help others through educating the public about the benefits of a healthy environment and through horticultural projects that benefit the community. Master Gardener volunteers bring the latest horticultural information and practices from the world of research to their communities’ landscapes and gardens making life better for citizens in Henderson County.
