Delaware County Master Gardeners are your neighbors - ordinary gardeners - who are enthusiastic about America's #1 hobby, and who have dedicated themselves to sharing their passion and their knowledge with members of their own community.

The special horticulture 12 week training these volunteers receive from the Penn State Cooperative Extension allows them to understand horticulture, educate others, support and implement community initiatives such as demonstration gardens, seminars, clinics, and workshops for schools and community groups. They staff the Delaware County Extension Horticulture Hotline. They are involved in horticulture therapy, teaching gardens, and speakers bureau.

In the friendly tradition of Master Gardeners throughout the US, they welcome similarly interested and enthusiastic members of the community to join their ranks. For information, call 610-690-2655.

Home gardening advice is provided by Master Gardener Volunteers. This highly trained and helpful staff will provide information and problem solving for home gardening, insect pest and wildlife pest problems.

Master Gardeners staff the office and the Hortline (horticultural hotline) on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 a.m. until 12 noon.
