Educating people where they live and work about horticultural best practices
Master Gardeners are University of Minnesota-trained volunteers whose job is to educate the public about a variety of horticulture subjects using readily-available, up-to-date research-based information.

There are more than 100 Master Gardeners who live in Washington County and volunteer several thousand hours each year to educate others.
