NC State Extension Master Gardener Volunteers, Davidson County

NC State Extension partners with communities to deliver education and technology that enrich the lives, land and economy of North Carolinians. The NCCES, established in 1914, was authorized by the Smith-Lever Act and designed as a partnership between the 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 State 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 State 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 State 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.
