About the Master Gardener Volunteer Training Program

The mission of the Pinellas County Master Gardener Volunteer program

To train a core of volunteers to assist the county agent in delivering information to residents on how to design, plant and care for their plants and landscapes in a Florida-Friendly way. Master Gardener Volunteers offer education to the citizens of Pinellas County on environmentally sound Florida Friendly Landscape practices. 

Volunteer training is held each fall from late August-early December.

Applications are taken online in the winter/spring of each year. You must be a current Pinellas County Resident to apply. Look here in January/February for details to apply to the next training cohort (2024). Thank you!
