Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners
Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners are people who love to garden, learn about gardening, and share what they learn with others. We are a community of gardeners who share a curiosity for learning, a passion for conservation, and a sense of obligation to enrich our community through outreach, education, and beautification.
The Extension Master Gardeners (EMG) host educational presentations each month from January through November. Watch for announcements on this page and on the EMG Facebook Page and their volunteer run page (please note that this will take you to a website not supported/managed by K-State Research and Extension Douglas County).
You can watch all our recorded presentations, and much more, on our EMG YouTube channel .
