We hope you will bookmark our site and return often to pick up gardening tips from our “Homeowner’s Q&A” and “Garden News Briefs”, review the current scheduled free talks and events sponsored by the Master Gardeners of Forsyth County, and learn more about the Demonstration Gardens and the gardens at the Arboretum at Tanglewood.

What is the Master Gardener Program?

Do you have a desire to learn more about growing plants? Are you interested in fruits, vegetables, ornamentals or lawns?  Are you interested in volunteering your time and gardening talent in projects that benefit the citizens of our county?

If so, you may be interested in The Master Gardener Program offered by the Forsyth County Extension Service. 

The program provides participants with 40 hours of in-depth training in the art and science of horticulture.  Class participants receive current, research based information from Extension educators and industry experts. In return, trained Master Gardeners volunteer their time and expertise in support of many community programs and activities.

Master Gardener volunteers are recognized as well-trained practitioners who serve and beautify their communities and are linked to a professional network of support through county, state and national Cooperative Extension offices.

If you are interested in learning more about the Forsyth County Master Gardener program, please contact Stephen Greer or Linda Dunn at 336-703-2850.
