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.
