Anne Arundel County Master Gardener Fall Training

Our Vision is a healthier world through environmental stewardship.

Our Mission is to support the University of Maryland Extension mission by educating residents about safe, effective and sustainable horticultural practices that build healthy gardens, landscapes, and communities.

Our History

The UME Master Gardener Program began in 1978 as a means to extend science-based knowledge to the general public by providing horticultural and pest management expertise to help protect and improve Maryland’s natural resources. Today, this popular program can be found in 20 Maryland counties and Baltimore City.

UME Master Gardeners are volunteers who combine their love of plants, people, and the environment to help residents in their communities solve problems and make environmentally-sound decisions.

Timeline of classes will be every Wednesday night 6-8PM from September 3rd until November 19th at the Anne Arundel County Extension Office, 97 Dairy Lane, Gambrills, MD 21054. We will be covering topics such as Entomology and Invasive Insects, Plant Pathology, Botany, Integrated Pest Management, Soil Science, Plant Nutrition, Ecology, Bay-Wise and Conservation Landscaping, Vegetables, Native Plants, and Plant Identification. Students will need to complete one module and quiz a week and attend the in-person class.
