Extension Master Gardeners: What We Do
Master Gardeners are Extension-trained volunteer educators. We improve the lives of Alabamians through research-based horticulture education delivered by a dedicated, trained, and involved Extension volunteer team.
Throughout the year, we host and attend a wide variety of educational events, volunteer to improve landscaping and gardening projects in our community, and provide horticultural information throughout the Shoals.
