What is a Master Gardener Volunteer?
Master Gardener volunteers are trained to provide the public with gardening programs and activities that draw on the horticultural research and experience of Cornell University.

Each Master Gardener has received an initial 125 hours of research-based instruction from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County. Master Gardener volunteers are kept up-to-date through continued exposure to the latest developments in environmental horticulture. In return, they have agreed to share their knowledge with neighbors by volunteering an equivalent number of hours in community service.

Suffolk County's Master Gardener Volunteer Program, along with similar programs in other counties in New York State, is directly linked to Cornell University as part of its National Land-Grant College charter. It is this tie to Cornell that provides Master Gardener with state-of-the-art gardening knowledge.For more information please contact: Caroline T. Kiang at (631) 727-7850, ext. 337.
