MGV program
New York State Master Gardener Volunteer Program
Through local Cornell Cooperative Extension county offices Master Gardener Volunteers help New York citizens to improve their lives and communities through gardening.
Certified NYS Master Gardener Volunteers have completed a minimum 45 hour Qualifying Course covering a broad range of horticultural topics and serve as volunteers under the supervision of a sponsoring CCE county program.
More than 2,300 Master Gardener Volunteers in 46 counties collectively contribute nearly 100,000 hours of service annually. Hundreds of new volunteers are trained annually. If you enjoy gardening and would like to advance your skills to help improve your community and the environment through gardening, contact your local CCE office to find out how you can become a Master Gardener Volunteer.

I am wondering if this is only available to citizens in the New York area… or is there other affilitations with Cornell… in other geographic locations as well, that I might be able to participate? I have a keen interest in this sort of thing and I travel quite a bit, so I would like to coordinate something along this line with my travel schedules. I would be greatly appreciative, if someone could let me know. Thank you. Alan White.
