Coos County Master Gardeners

Welcome to the Coos County Master Gardener™ volunteer program

Master Gardeners are local volunteers trained by Oregon State University Extension. We share evidence-based gardening knowledge to help people grow healthy plants, support pollinators and build resilient communities.

In Coos County, volunteers connect with gardeners of all ages—through community events, workshops, demonstration gardens, as well as one-on-one help—to make gardening easier, more fun and more sustainable.

Three Master Gardener volunteers stand behind an outdoor OSU Extension information table on a rainy day. The table is covered with a black Oregon State University Master Gardener tablecloth and displays books and gardening materials. A sidewalk sign beside the table reads ‘Got gardening questions? Ask us.’ The volunteers are bundled in coats and hats, smiling beneath a large green umbrella. Wet pavement and tall windows of nearby buildings appear in the background.
