The
River Valley Master Gardener Program is designed to increase the availability of
horticultural information and improve quality of life with horticultural
projects. Trained volunteers, known as Master Gardeners, accomplish these
educational goals. Program participants receive 40 hours of intensive
horticultural training and are expected to give back 40 hours of community
service within a year after finishing the training. Training areas include
basic horticulture, fruits, houseplants, ornamentals, vegetables and diagnostic
keys to horticultural problems. This program is conducted in conjunction with
the Crawford County Extension Office. If you are interested in becoming a
