Colorado
State University Extension (CSUCE) and the Green Industries
of Colorado (GreenCo) have long recognized that an informed horticultural
consumer will have more plant-growing success. This success encourages
them to expand into other gardening activities, broadening their interests
and enriching their home environment. The Colorado Master Gardener
program is a major outreach avenue to Adams County residents regarding
yard care and gardening information. With a relatively small horticultural
staff, trained Master Gardeners enable Colorado State University
Extension to respond to thousands of requests for information each
year.
