Collapse ▲To help you decide if you should apply to become a Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteer, ask yourself these questions:
- Do I want to learn more about growing many types of plants?
- Am I eager to participate in a practical and intense training program?
- Do I look forward to sharing my knowledge with people in my community?
- Do I have enough time to attend training sessions and to serve as a volunteer?
If you answered yes to these questions, the Extension Master Gardenersm program could be for you!
You know you’re a Master Gardener volunteer when . . .
- At least once a day you get naked and do gymnastics in front of a mirror looking for ticks.

- You spend more time volunteering than at home.
- Your spouse never knows where you may be on any given day.
