Master Gardener Day
March 19, 2011 was deemed Master Gardener Day in Georgia. This day allows the state to honor the works and programs of the Georgia Master Gardeners. Here in Fayette County, we have a lot to be thankful for. Our Master Gardeners have shot for the stars and exceeded. Thank you for all your dedication and volunteerism to the County and to the area.
Become a Master Gardener - Training Class Information
The Master Gardeners are an integral part of educational programs and opportunities through the Extension Office. 
The Georgia Master Gardener Volunteer Program is an educational program offered through county offices of The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension.
Through this program, individuals are trained and certified in horticulture and related areas. These individuals, in turn, volunteer their expertise and services, under the direction of their County Extension Agent, to assist others through horticultural projects that benefit the community. Master Gardeners bring the latest horticultural information and practices from the world of scientific research to their communities' landscapes and gardens. Through the Master Gardener Program, thousands of people in the United States and Canada have been trained as volunteers to stimulate the love for and increase the knowledge of gardening, and to voluntarily and enthusiastically share this knowledge with others.
If you enjoy plants and community service, you may want to consider becoming a Master Gardener. The 2011 class application process has closed. We encourage you to look back here in late September 2011 for information about the new program and training opportunities.
