Master Gardener Volunteers
Master Gardener Volunteers (MGV) are adult volunteers recruited and trained by county extension agents and University of Florida specialists to provide assistance in Extension home horticultural programs. Through this program, enthusiastic gardeners study such areas as botany, horticulture, soil science, and plant and insect identification and management. The Florida Master Gardener Volunteer Program is administered by the Cooperative Extension Service, a part of the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.Ask a Master Gardener
Popular questions for our MGV range from “What is this insect on my plant?” to “What is this plant that’s popped up in my yard?”
You may reach a MGV by calling 352.518.0156), stopping by the office or sending an email to: [email protected].
Master Gardener Volunteers can also be found in person monthly at the following locations:
Canterbury Farms Nursery & Garden Center | Third Thursdays | 10 a.m. -12 p.m.
Wesley Chapel District Park | Last Saturdays | 8 a.m. – 11 a.m.
Seminars & Workshops You can learn from MGV and ask questions at seminars around the county. Please click here for topics, registration and details.
If you are looking for guest speakers on horticulture topics for your garden group, school group or other programming please reach out to Program Manager, Jillian Meek at: [email protected].
