Become a WSU Extension Master Gardener volunteer

Do you want to learn more about gardening, meet new people and make a difference in the community? The WSU Extension Master Gardener Program may be just right for you. You will learn science-based knowledge to tackle the yard and garden problems that matter to you, your friends and neighbors, and to your community.

The process of becoming a WSU Extension Master Gardener is enjoyable and rewarding. It starts by completing and submitting an application, undergoing a background check because WSU Extension volunteers often work with youth and vulnerable adults, and participating in an interview or orientation which gives us an opportunity to get to know you, and you an opportunity to learn more about what being a WSU Master Gardener volunteer means. Then training begins.

People interested in joining the WSU Extension Master Gardener Program as a volunteer should contact Beverly Sarles, program coordinator, for specific application materials, including important dates and deadlines.
