What is a Master Gardener?
 Our volunteers are specially trained by the Maricopa County Cooperative Extension and have completed a comprehensive home horticulture-training program. In turn, a Master Gardener agrees to donate time assisting cooperative extension professionals in educating the gardening public. Real Gardens for Real People shares research-based information with the public on how to enhance their quality of life and that of their communities by conserving water and resources, reducing green waste, responsible use of chemical products, and teaching the benefits of home-grown vegetables and fruits, flowers and beautiful low-desert appropriate landscapes.
Our Goal
To encourage a progressive, integrated and environmentally responsible attitude toward gardening
