Collier County Extension
Master Gardener Program
In Collier County, the Master Gardener Program began in 1986 and to date has provided 14 training courses to qualify candidates as Master Gardeners. Currently, 60+ individuals are active in the program. They were selected and trained, and have committed themselves to giving 50 hours of volunteer service each year to remain active in the program.
Selection to become a candidate for the Master Gardener Training Program is not based on prior training, education, knowledge, or experience. Nor does age, race, gender, or physical handicap determine selection.
A love of gardening, or a desire to learn about gardening, a sincere desire to help others, and a personal commitment to volunteer service are the major selection criteria involved. Gardening experience and knowledge are certainly helpful, but they are not necessary for enrollment in the Master Gardener Training Program.
