Master Gardener Volunteer Program
Who are Extension Master Gardeners?
The Extension Master Gardener (EMG) program is an educational volunteer program sponsored by K-State Research and Extension. Participants receive approximately 40 hours of horticultural training and, afterward, begin to volunteer their time to educate and advise the public on gardening and horticultural topics. Extension Master Gardener volunteers work closely with local K-State Research and Extension agents to deliver research-based home lawn, garden, and landscaping information to their communities through various educational activities.
Master Gardener volunteer activities include:
Planting and maintaining demonstration gardens
Garden tours
Youth outreach
Community events
Public presentations
Plant sales
How to get involved
