Do you have a Master Gardener Volunteer who would be willing to come and help with garden planning?
Question:
We have a piece of land that we are just beginning to make plans for– we want to plant as many native species as possible. I am wondering if a Master Gardener Volunteer would be able to come out to our land to help us walk the site, answer questions, and help us make plans?

Exciting! So, we just had to post this on our website, in regards to the Master Gardener Mentorship Program: Due to the high demand of our program and the need to match recent requests, we’ve closed the Garden Mentor Request Form. The request form will become available again during our next application period: February 1, 2023 to April 30, 2023.
