Intersted in becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer?
Extension Master Gardener Volunteers℠ are NC State University trained volunteers who educate the public about the benefits of gardening.

Our initial Henderson County Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteer training runs February – April, one day a week on Wednesdays, 10 a.m. -2 p.m. Classes are held in our Jackson Park office at 100 Jackson Park Road.
Master Gardener℠ intern trainees are required to do 40 hours of volunteer service in our public garden projects before they can graduate.
The cost is $135.00 check or cash.
