Master Gardener volunteers were able to be of direct service to more than 38,000 Oregonians while under COVID-related restrictions.
Master Gardeners donated an estimated 25 tons of fresh produce, harvested from Master Gardener-managed community and demonstration gardens to local food banks and food pantries.
The number of gardening questions to OSU’s “Ask Extension” service grew 175% in the past three years. 88% of these questions in 2021 were answered by Master Gardener volunteers.
