Community Groups at the Market: Prince George's Master Gardeners

The Prince George’s Master Gardeners will hold an Ask a Master Gardener Plant Clinic at this Saturday’s Community Market. Master Gardeners are volunteers who support the University of Maryland Extension mission by educating residents about safe, effective and sustainable horticultural practices that build healthy gardens, landscapes, and communities. At the Plant Clinic, they will try to diagnose problems with your unhappy plants and answer questions about vegetable and flower gardening.

The Master Gardener program is administered by the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Cooperative Extension Service. The program's mission is to educate residents about safe, effective and sustainable horticultural and gardening practices that build healthy gardens, landscapes and communities in Prince George's County. Master Gardeners are volunteers, trained by the university, who provide horticultural education services to individuals, groups, and communities including government agencies, neighborhood associations, non-profit organizations, historic sites, schools and youth groups, senior citizens and garden clubs.
