Would you like to become a Rutgers Master Gardener?

We will begin registration for the 2025 classes on November 15, 2024. There are both formal, in-person opportunities and self-directed, virtual opportunities. Please check back here in the fall for more details.

Rutgers Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who assist Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) Cooperative Extension in its mission to deliver horticulture programs and information to the general public. Anyone with an interest in gardening and a commitment to volunteer service can become a Rutgers Master Gardener. No previous education or training in horticulture is required.
