Master Gardener Volunteer Training Open House

  • Thursday, October 23, 2025, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
  • Saturday, October 25, 2025, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Are you interested in serving your community through gardening? Come meet other Master Gardeners and learn more about our training program!

We are neighbors teaching neighbors about landscapes, vegetables, fruits, herbs, houseplants, beneficial and harmful insects, plant diseases, integrated pest management (IPM), wildlife management, soils, birds, composting, water conservation, and much, much more!

The Master Gardeners are a dedicated group of volunteers in New York State who are trained by Cornell Cooperative Extension in the science and art of gardening. We continue to be educated on the latest developments in horticulture through on-going training and workshops.

And yet, the Master Gardener Program is more than a horticulture class or a garden club. It is a volunteer program that enables participants to serve their communities through horticultural education. If you would like to help improve your community and enjoy gardening, landscaping, and related activities, come learn about how to be a Master Gardener volunteer.

During our open house you will meet otherMaster Gardeners, learn about the application process, coursework and program requirements.
