Become a Master Gardener
The Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program is a training program for volunteer educators who are interested in spreading the good word about best horticultural practices to others in the community. As a VCE-MG, you will meet and work with people who share your interests, and also have the opportunity to advance your horticultural knowledge by participating in seminars and special events.
If you want more information about the requirements to become an Extension Master Gardener, contact our Volunteer Coordinator. You will receive an informational email and be notified when our next training class is scheduled.
