Forsyth County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program Interest Session

Are you interested in becoming a Master Gardener? Join us at the Lewisville Branch for an information session about the Forsyth County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer (EMGV) program. EMGV is a training program dedicated to developing excellence in volunteers through continuing education and community engagement. An initial training course is held once per year and is followed by a required year-long 'internship' where new volunteers get connected to current volunteer and education opportunities and fellowship with certified EMGVs. No gardening knowledge is required, only a willingness to learn and volunteer with N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County staff and agents to educate your community.

N.C. Cooperative Extension Agent Anika Parks will present about the format of the Forsyth County EMGV Program, volunteer requirements, the application and interview process, and highlight the volunteer and education opportunities. There will be time at the end of the session for questions, as well as paper applications to fill out. Registration is recommended. To register, click here or call the Lewisville Branch at 336-703-2940.
