The Shawnee County Extension Master Gardeners are a volunteer group that seeks to spread research-based horticulture information with our community through seminars, public events, and our eight demonstration gardens around Shawnee County!

Shawnee County Extension Master Gardeners spend more than 10,000 hours every year disseminating research based information to Shawnee County residents. Our volunteers plan, plant and maintain eight demonstration gardens, give programs at the Topeka and Shawnee County Library, answer questions at local Farmer's Markets and on our Response Line and host many community events. Extension Master Gardeners are teachers in our community!

The application process will open soon! Please read all program materials including information about course formatting and time commitments carefully before applying.
