The program is a volunteer training program designed for individuals who have an interest in gardening. 🧑‍🌾 🪴 🪏 👩🏻‍🌾.

Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, people who beco

me Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their parish Extension agent to provide horticulture-related information to their communities. Any Louisiana resident with an interest in horticulture and a desire to volunteer for community service may apply to the Master Gardener Training Program. The Louisiana Master Gardener training program provides a balanced, integrated, practical course in gardening. Special topics, based on Louisiana gardening needs, are part of the curriculum and involve a balance of lecture and hands-on activities. The training is conducted over a two-to-three-month period with instruction provided by LSU AgCenter Extension faculty and other horticulture experts.

I would like encourage folk to come out to the St Helena Farmer's Market this Friday. Our market is small but growing. Come see us and then take a quiet drive on our beautiful backroads. Did you know that St Helena has no stop lights and only one incorporated town (Greensburg) and one village ( Montpelier). Come out and support our growers, ranchers, cooks, and crafters.

Creating a hummingbird‑friendly garden is a great way to support wildlife while adding color to your landscape. By choosing the right plants, you can provide natural nectar sources that attract hummingbirds throughout the growing season.

You can support pollinators by planting host plants in your garden! These plants provide a place for butterflies and moths to lay eggs and for young insects to grow before they transform.
