Who are Master Gardeners?
Membership in the Master Gardeners of Madison County Tennessee is open to all persons who complete the required course of study and the required volunteer hours. To become a Master Gardener, individuals must receive a total of 40 hours of in-depth horticultural training from Agricultural Extensions Specialists from the University of Tennessee and local experts in horticulture. In return, interns must give 40 hours of volunteer service within a year, back to the Agricultural Extension programs and their community to become a Master Gardener.

Once certified as a Tennessee Master Gardener, you must continue to give an established number of hours of volunteer service to the program and attend educational sessions each subsequent year to become re-certified as a Master Gardener.

There are nearly 100 active, certified Master Gardeners in Madison County. The Madison County program began in 1995 and the class schedule runs each September through December with sessions once a week.
