Welcome to the Wasco 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 Wasco 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.
