Garden Advice Program

Master Gardeners (MGs) offer garden advice at home to New Castle County homeowners from April through October (weather/availability dependent). 

Since 2005, MGs have provided advice to hundreds of New Castle County homeowners to meet their landscape and garden challenges. This seasonal service is offered by experienced, trained MG volunteers who address homeowners’ questions and problems ranging from establishing a vegetable garden, renovating lawns, refurbishing and enhancing landscapes, and using sustainable horticulture practices to support pollinators and birds, minimize maintenance, and select appropriate plants. Clients learn how their gardening practices can connect their landscapes to the ecosystem in which they live.

“All of my questions were answered and they were patient with my lack of knowledge. The time spent was also great!”
