The Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program provides intensive training in horticulture to interested Ohio residents, who then volunteer their time assisting with educational programs and activities for Ohio residents through their local OSU Extension county office. Volunteers are not required to have gardening skills or knowledge; but a passion for learning about gardening and sharing this knowledge with others is a must!

Working with county Extension personnel, Master Gardener Volunteers provide such educational services to their communities as: answering gardening questions from the public; conducting plant clinics; gardening activities with children, senior citizens, or disabled persons; beautifying the community; and developing community or demonstration gardens.

More information about state-level Master Gardener Volunteer programs and activities is available at http://mastergardener.osu.edu.

This Fall, past and present Master Gardener Volunteers from Meigs County will have the opportunity to participate in "refresher" training as we gear up for the return of the MGV Program in Meigs. More information about dates, times, and place will be forthcoming, as well as a registration link.

If you have never been a part of the MGV Program, but are interested in joining, we will begin accepting new members in the Spring of 2025. If you'd like to receive additional information, you can scan the QR code below to fill out a questionnaire and be included in future informational messages.
