Who Are The Bradley County Master Gardeners?

Master Gardeners are volunteers from the community who are trained by the University of Tennessee Extension Agents and other qualified instructors, who use research-based information to promote environmentally responsible and sustainable horticultural practices in the home, community and school landscapes.

We are residents who are trained to serve our community by helping to plant community gardens and green spaces, speaking on gardening best practices and answering your questions on your gardening issues and trials.
