Meeting the educational needs of thousands of citizens requires the dedication, creativity, and hard work of many volunteers. Consider joining the ranks of a volunteer program that makes a difference in Delaware.

Master Gardeners bring the joy of horticulture and environmental education into classrooms, homes, communities and demonstration gardens throughout the State.

Master Gardener trainees learn how to conduct educational programs in horticultural and environmental topics. They learn about research-based lawn and garden management practices known to be least damaging to the environment. But moreover, they become part of a vibrant community of individuals dedicated to growing a greener Delaware, with a more biodiverse and sustainable environment.

Contact our Horticulture Extension Education at 302-831-2667 for more information on becoming a Master Gardener in New Castle County.
