Ohio Master Gardener Volunteer Program

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener volunteers are serious about horticulture -- taking their passion for plants and the environment and passing it on to those they touch through education and community activities. Last year, volunteers committed more than 100,000 hours to community services, impacting more than a quarter of a million residents.
Coordinated efforts of several volunteer organiztions and charitable groups came under one roof at the Henry County Hospice Bazaar for the annual flower sale to raise money for Hospice of Northwest Ohio. 
The Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers kicked-off their 2008 community service projects with some tree pruning on March 22, 2008. The Bradford callery pears lining the county campus driveway were long overdue for trimming. Indeed, one pear near the Administration Building had just split down the center--a common problem with these trees--and was eventually removed.
