WELCOME
If you want to dig deeper into gardening, you are on fertile ground. Plow through our pages to find all the dirt on gardening in the MidSouth and activities of local Master Gardeners. We are compost of people from all parts of the country, both natives and transplants. Our knowledge stems from classes offered by the UT Extension in Shelby County. Rooted in a tradition of Tennessee volunteerism, we branch out, growing community projects and planting seeds of knowledge wherever we can cultivate an audience.
Our annual Spring Fling is a perennial favorite, and our Plant-A-Row and Collierville Victory Garden projects donate literally tons of fresh produce each year to area food banks. The “Through Our Garden Gates” garden tour in June is a rich combination of open gardens and education for the public as only Master Gardeners can deliver. You’ll find Master Gardeners all over the greater Memphis area, helping with public gardens, school landscapes and teaching gardens, Habitat for Humanity landscapes, speakers bureau presentations, and many other projects.
Weed love for you to learn more about us so you can reap the rewards of good gardening. Leaf a message for the webmaster if you have any questions.
