Join Us in Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the WSU Extension Master Gardener Program
The Master Gardener program began here in Washington State, in Pierce and King Counties, in 1971 as a way to meet a high demand from the growing population for horticulture and gardening advice. The first trial plant clinic was successfully held at the Tacoma Mall in 1972. Following that, the Master Gardener Program and training were established with 300 graduates in 1973. Today there are over 4000 volunteers in Washington state and the Master Gardener program extends into all 50 states, Canada, and South Korea. The program is also emulated in other countries around the globe.
