Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers are trained volunteer educators who expand Extension’s capacity to meet the needs of the gardening public. Across our state, Master Gardener volunteers provide educational outreach that connects NC residents with the environmental, economic and health benefits of gardening.
Using the garden as learning lab, Master Gardener volunteers engage youth in science education.
Working with their local N.C. Cooperative Extension agent, Master Gardener volunteers empower residents to cultivate healthy gardens, landscapes, and ecosystems through safe, effective and sustainable practices. Their efforts:
- Enhance local food security through home and community gardens producing vegetables, fruits and nuts;
- Beautify yards and neighborhoods while protecting water quality and conserving natural resources;
- Create habitat for pollinators, birds and wildlife;
- Connect children and families with nature while cultivating environmental stewardship;
- Promote health and well-being through gardening, better nutrition and increased physical activity.
