NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteer Program
Since 1979, NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ (EMG) volunteers have been leaders in this internationally acclaimed program, guiding homeowners in making environmentally sound decisions in their landscapes. Trained by North Carolina State University faculty and staff, Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers provide research-based information about gardening and environmental stewardship to individuals and communities across the state. Master Gardener℠ volunteers engage the community through education and outreach on a wide variety of subjects and through a broad spectrum of projects, all designed to maximize their impact. Read more about their impact at the state level here.
EMG volunteers in Forsyth County provide unbiased, research-based education promoting horticultural best practices and environmental stewardship to the public. The program is dedicated to developing excellence in volunteers through continuing education and community engagement.
How do I become an NC State Extension Master Gardener volunteer in Forsyth County?
In Forsyth County, Master Gardener℠ volunteer training is typically held once each year. In addition to completing the 40-hour training course, EMG students are also required to volunteer 40 hours of their time with Extension to become certified Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers. Following successful certification, EMG volunteers are expected to continue accumulating a certain number of volunteer and continuing education hours each year to remain certified (the exact numbers are subject to change if the need arises).
