The Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program provides intensive training in horticulture to interested Ohio residents, who then volunteer their time assisting with educational programs and activities for Ohio residents through their local OSU Extension county office. Volunteers are not required to have gardening skills or knowledge; but a passion for learning about gardening and sharing this knowledge with others is a must!

Working with county Extension personnel, Master Gardener Volunteers provide such educational services to their communities as: answering gardening questions from the public; conducting plant clinics; gardening activities with children, senior citizens, or disabled persons; beautifying the community; and developing community or demonstration gardens.

To learn more, visit the state-level Master Gardener Volunteer site.

The next Master Gardener Volunteer training program in Hamilton County is planned for the fall of 2024; more information will be emailed to interested parties in July 2024. If you would like to be added to the email list for the 2024 class, please email Jennifer Goldschneider at goldschneider.1@osu.edu.
