How We Help
Master Gardeners contribute to the gardening community by providing reliable relevant information for home gardeners. Master Gardeners teach, advise, listen, diagnose, experiment, learn, demonstrate and connect gardeners of all ages with the information they need. We enjoy gardening, learning about gardening and sharing experiences with others. We’ll do our best to answer your question immediately. However, sometimes we need to take more time to research your issue, or to consult with Neil Bell, our Marion County Horticulturist or other OSU experts. We may also recommend another agency or organization for you to contact. Our goal is for you to have the best answer possible.
Where to Find Us
You can find Marion County Master Gardener volunteers at the Marion County OSU Extension Office Help Desk, at local and community garden events, in the Demonstration Garden, at MCMGA events, and on the web and facebook. See the Contact Us page for location addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.
