Extensiton Master Gardener Volunteer Association
The Extension Master Gardener (EMG) program was started in 1973 in Washington state. Dr. David Gibby trained volunteers with a passion for gardening to assist Extension with consumer horticulture education in the community. This unique volunteer program has become internationally recognized and often duplicated as a model for other volunteer programs. Today, Extension Master Gardener programs exist in 49 states and the District of Columbia, several Canandian provinces, and South Korea.
