Master Gardener Program
The mission of the Penn State MG volunteer program is to support the Penn State Cooperative Extension by utilizing research-based information to educate the public on best practices in consumer horticulture and environmental stewardship.
The Penn State University Master Gardener program was established to assist Cooperative Extension in reaching the consumer horticulture audience. The program provides interested individuals with extensive training in many phases of gardening. In return, participants dedicate volunteer time to teaching horticultural information based on university research and recommendations.
Training and volunteer service are coordinated at the county level by extension educators or trained volunteers. State wide functions are carried out by the State Master Gardener Coordinator and from the State Master Gardener Steering Committee.
The projects and activities of the Penn State Master Gardeners in Perry County are coordinated through the Cumberland County Extension office. For information about Penn State Master Gardeners in Perry County, please contact the Master Gardener Coordinator in Cumberland County.
