If you have the desire, commitment and time to learn and want to put your knowledge and skills to work through volunteer service, then apply for admission to the Master Gardener program.

Defines Louisiana Master Gardener volunteer responsibilities.

As a Master Gardener, you have volunteered to do work related to horticulture for your local Extension office. A list of suggestions is included.

After completing the course, Master Gardeners are required to volunteer at least 40 hours of service in the parish Extension office or in the community. The volunteer activities are coordinated through the parish Extension office.

As you know, volunteers are not paid with money, but we hope that the gratitude of your fellow paid workers in the Extension office and the district and state staff will help you feel that your work is appreciated.
