Description

Extension Master Gardener Volunteers (EMGVs) are members of the local community who assist Extension with its horticulture programs. EMGVs assist in teaching other community members, answering questions, and maintaining Extension's public gardens. N.C. Cooperative Extension staff trains Extension Master Gardener Volunteers. EMGV training covers a variety of topics, including growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, lawns, and more. No prior garden knowledge is required! In return for specialized training, EMGVs dedicate volunteer hours each year to expand Extension’s capacity to educate other gardeners. Attendance at an interest session is not required to apply to the EMGV program. This session will focus on the EMGV program in Forsyth County. Volunteers must complete all training and volunteer hours with Extension in Forsyth County. If you are interested in volunteering in another county, please contact the Extension office there. Visit ces.ncsu.edu/local-county-center/ to find other offices. This interest session will teach you the basics of this volunteer program, and you will learn the details of when the next class will be held. Additionally, you will receive a paper copy of the volunteer application to fill out at your leisure. Walk-ins are welcome, pre-registration is appreciated!
