Purpose & Impact - Marion County
The Master Gardener program was created by the Cooperative Extension Service. It originated in Seattle, Washington in 1972. In Indiana it officially began in 1978 with four counties including Marion County. The program is administered in Indiana through the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service.
The Master Gardener program is designed to help educate the public about gardening through the use of trained, certified volunteers. The program helps participants to grow by providing them with training in horticulture principles. They, in turn, agree to share their knowledge and help others grow.
The Master Gardener program has a significant impact on the community. The following report documents some of the efforts in Marion County:
