Become a Master Gardener

The Master Gardener Program in Georgia is a volunteer training program designed to help University of Georgia Cooperative Extension staff transfer research-based information about gardening and related subjects to the public by training home gardeners. Some basic experience and knowledge is preferable, but all enthusiastic people who want to share their love of plants with their communities are welcome. 
 

The application process begins early August of every year for anyone who resides in Fulton County. To be sure you are on our mail list to receive an application call the number below.
