How is the Snohomish County Master Gardener Program different from the SnohomishCounty WSU Master Gardener Extension program?
We are a group of enthusiastic and committed Master Gardeners who partner with the WSU
Extension program to help provide Master Gardener activities for the benefit of our Snohomish County community. Our Foundation provides funding that helps to support the training of new master gardeners, community diagnostic clinics, demonstration gardens, and a wide array of Master Gardener community outreach programs and events – including the popular Winter Lecture Series, the Snohomish County MG Garden Tours, and the annual Snohomish County MG Plant Sale each May.
