| A love of gardening, a search for knowledge and a desire to share that knowledge with others is central to why Master Gardeners join the program.
They remain Master Gardeners to enjoy the friendship of others who share their interests, to gain and share horticultural knowledge and to give back to the community through their volunteer commitment. |
