Oklahoma Master Gardeners are a vital part of University Extension's ability to provide consumers with up-to-date, research-based information. Master Gardening has also become a popular volunteer activity that gives its participants a sense of community spirit, accomplishment and intellectual stimulation.
The Oklahoma Master Gardeners Program is a volunteer training program designed to help county extension centers meet the demands for consumer horticulture information. Master Gardeners take classroom training coordinated by local extension staff with the assistance of state extension specialists located at Oklahoma State University. After training is completed, participants are involved in an internship program of volunteer services.
