MILTON — Do you love gardening or want to learn about gardening and share that knowledge with others in the community? Consider becoming a Florida Master Gardener volunteer.
The University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) trains volunteers for the Florida Master Gardener Program. The 15-week course includes indoor and outdoor classroom work and hands-on activities.
Training provides an overview of botany, propagation, invasive species, pest and disease management, pollinators, and lawn, landscape, and garden practices. Trained volunteers then commit to volunteer activities in the community.
