Colorado Master Gardener Program   arrow

Additional information on the Colorado Master Gardener (CMG) program is available at the State Master Gardener Program webpage. If you are interested in learning more about gardening without committing to the volunteer portion of the program, you can still follow the Green School curriculum led from October through March by CSU horticultural professionals. You can also email our Volunteer Coordinator (edecker@jeffco.us) for specific questions related to the program.

We’d also like to thank all of our CMG’s for learning, volunteering, and growing with us during 2022! In total, our Jefferson County CMG’s spent 3,711 hours volunteering across our various projects this year, as well as 1,140 hours on continued education. Please join us in applauding their wonderful contributions to horticultural education and food accessibility within Jefferson County!!!

Keeping ahead of COVID-19

This rapidly evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) has imposed an unsettling, fluid situation upon our community and its businesses. While the team here still aims to maintain a “business as usual” approach, we are making a number of significant changes to our operations to account for a situation that is far from normal.
