Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Huntingdon County

Penn State Extension Master Gardeners are volunteers who support Penn State Cooperative Extension's educational programs in consumer horticulture. They develop their horticultural expertise through participation in educational programs conducted by Penn State University faculty and Cooperative Extension staff. Faculty, Extension specialists, and Extension educators also provide diagnostic support

for horticultural issues and questions to Master Gardener volunteers actively participating in the program. The Penn State University Master Gardener program was established to assist Cooperative Extension in reaching the consumer horticulture audience

The mission of the Penn State Extension Huntingdon County Master Gardener volunteer program is to support Penn State Cooperative Extension by utilizing research-based information to educate the public on best practices in consumer horticulture and environmental stewardship. The Huntingdon County Master Gardeners Program is beginning its third year and has a variety of projects underway for the community: a poison prevention program for first graders, a variety of gardens including those which feature native plants, attract pollinators and work within a wetland. The Huntingdon County Master Gardeners also offer the Huntingdon County Gardening Hotline, which is a free service through the Penn State extension office to help Huntingdon County residents with gardening questions and concerns. The Master Gardener Training will be offered in 2022
