Master Gardener Program

The Master Gardener Program is offered by The University of Tennessee Extension.

The purpose of the Master Gardener program is to train citizens as horticultural-educated volunteers of The University of Tennessee Extension and the Tennessee State Cooperative Extension Program. Volunteers work in partnership with their counties to expand the educational outreach by providing home gardeners with researched-based information.

If you are interested in becoming a Master Gardener, please contact Chris Cooper at 901-752-1207 or cmcooper@utk.edu. Go to www.memphisareamastergardeners.org and learn more about the Master Gardener program here in Shelby County!
