Master Gardener volunteers share their knowledge with the public.
Since 1979, the NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ program has recruited, trained, and engaged people to serve as volunteer educators who strengthen Extension’s delivery of science-based horticultural knowledge to North Carolinians.
We connect people with the benefits of consumer horticulture through research-based information, educational programming, and community outreach that empowers North Carolinians to cultivate healthy plants, landscapes, ecosystems, and communities.

Our History
The Extension Master Gardener program began at Washington State University in 1973 in response to the high demand for gardening advice. It rapidly spread across the United States. By 1978, NC State Extension volunteers staffed a garden hotline in New Hanover County. The next year Wake County trained their first Extension Master Gardener volunteers and three years later there were 110 Extension Master Gardener volunteers in five counties. Now there are over 3,500 volunteers in 83 counties across the state.
