Metro Area Master Gardener

The Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener™ program is more than just a gardening initiative; it is a vibrant community of passionate volunteers dedicated to making a positive impact across Oregon. Through their commitment to sustainable gardening practices and science-based education, Master Gardener volunteers empower individuals and communities to grow their own food, beautify their surroundings, and foster a deeper connection to the natural world. These volunteers are the heart of the program, generously giving their time and expertise to educate, inspire, and support their neighbors. Whether they're teaching gardening techniques, managing community gardens, or providing expert advice at local events, Master Gardeners are building resilient, healthy communities and nurturing a love for lifelong learning. Their work not only enhances the environment but also strengthens the bonds that connect us all, one garden at a time.
