Home horticultural topics are the focus of our Rutgers Master Gardener program, a division of the Agriculture and Natural Resources department. Trained volunteers of the Rutgers Master Gardener program work with the program coordinator to deliver gardening information and solutions to county residents. Volunteers of this program also help conduct community outreach regarding issues with homeowner gardens, lawns, and landscapes.
