About Florida Master Gardeners
The Florida Master Gardener Program is a volunteer-driven program that benefits UF-IFAS/Broward County Extension Education, Parks and Recreation Division, and Broward County residents. The program relies on dedicated volunteers who have an interest in gardening and in giving back to their communities. Master Gardeners undergo 130 hours of intensive training, including lectures, labs, and field trips. Students also receive course handouts, books, identification decks, and other diagnostic tools. There are currently more than 200 Master Gardeners from 28 Broward municipalities. They are assisted by local Master Gardener coordinators who schedule volunteer events and provide educational programs in each municipality.
