Who are the Reno County Extension Master Gardeners?

Master Gardeners are members of the local community who share a common interest in gardening. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and have a desire to share their gardening knowledge with others in the community.

The  Reno County Extension Master Gardener Program is more than just a series of classes. It is a training program for those wanting to serve as horticulture 

education volunteers with K-State Research and Extension in Reno County.

Volunteers are given over 40 hours of training in all areas of

horticulture on subjects such as vegetables, trees, turfgrass,

landscaping, herbs, entomology, soils, basic botany, fruits, flowers, andcomposting. In return, volunteers are asked to donate 40 hours of volunteer time to Reno County Extension education programs. 

The program is open to anyone , regardless of skill and knowledge level, who enjoys gardening and wants to help educate others.
