Welcome
Our Vision: The Maryland Master Gardener vision is a healthier world through environmental stewardship. Our Mission: to support the University of Maryland Extension mission by educating residents about safe, effective and sustainable horticultural practices that build healthy gardens, landscapes, and communities. The Maryland Master Gardener Program was started in 1978 as a means of extending the horticultural and pest management expertise of University of Maryland Extension to the general public. The program is designed to train volunteer horticultural educators for the University of Maryland Extension- the principal outreach education unit of the University of Maryland. Participants receive 40 hours of basic training and then agree to work in their communities to teach Marylanders how to cultivate garden spaces and manage landscapes sustainably using research-based information. This environmental horticulture approach reduces fertilizer and pesticide use resulting in improved soil and water quality. RECRUITMENT NOW OPEN FOR FALL
