The Extension Master Gardener program is an opportunity for novice and experienced gardeners to learn and share knowledge with others. As representatives of MU Extension, Master Gardeners are involved in a variety of activities that benefit community, families and individuals while developing horticultural interests.
You can keep up with Christian County Master Gardener meetings, seminars, tours and other activities on our Facebook page - Christian County Master Gardeners.
