NC State Extension Master Gardener volunteers, Pender County

NC State Extension Master Gardener volunteers, Pender County NC Cooperative Extension partners with communities to deliver education and technology that enrich the lives, land, and economy of North Carolinians.

NC State Extension Master Gardener volunteers empower Pender County residents to cultivate healthy plants, landscapes, and communities through volunteer service that delivers research-based information, educational programming, and community outreach. The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, established in 1914, was authorized by the Smith-Lever Act and designed as a partnership between t

he United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), North Carolina State University, the land grant university (authorized by the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890), and local government. This federal/state/local partnership provides a network of professionals in every county in North Carolina. Since 1979 NC Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteers have been guiding homeowners in making environmentally sound decisions in their gardens, lawns, and landscapes. North Carolina Extension Master Gardener Volunteers are a crucial part of the NC Cooperative Extension mission throughout North Carolina, partnering “with communities to deliver education and technology that enrich the lives, land, and economy of North Carolinians.” Under the auspices of the NC Cooperative Extension, the mission of the Extension Master Gardener Volunteers is to learn about issues related to urban horticulture that are unbiased, research-based, practical, and environmentally sound and to educate the community on these issues.

Are you working with a school, community, or nonprofit garden this fall? Coast of Maine’s Growing Good Program may be able to help.

Through Growing Good, we partner with local garden retailers to provide qualifying schools and nonprofit organizations with 10 cubic feet of Coast of Maine organic soil. It’s a simple way to help gardens get established, refresh raised beds, prepare for fall planting, or get ready for next spring.

Apply to the Growing Good Program: https://coastofmaine.com/pages/growing-good-program
