We help home gardeners become more confident. If you need advice on what plants to grow where, how to start plants from seed, how to buy, transplant and care for trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals, you'll find science-based help from our professional horticulture staff and Master Gardener volunteers.

Diagnostic Lab: a resource for identifying plant pathology and insects, and providing recommendations for control.

Horticulture Hotline: daily phone line for answers to almost any gardening and landscaping question.

Interested in more? Our staff and volunteers teach day-long, half-day and shorter education programs geared to adults, families and children at libraries and other locations throughout the county.

Need plants? Get a great start at the annual Master Gardener Volunteers Plant Sale at Tilly Foster Farm, Brewster, each May.
