Orangeburg County Master Gardener Program

The Orangeburg County Master Gardener program has been in existence since 2007 and continues to grow each year. 

The main objective of this program is to train volunteers who have an interest in horticulture and a desire to help others.  Master Gardener is a title given to individuals that receive 40 hours of in-depth horticultural training from County Extension Agents and in return agree to give 40 hours of volunteer service helping their local county Extension program in Orangeburg County.

The program includes training on topics such as basic plant botany and physiology, entomology, plant pathology, vegetable gardening, fruit culture, annuals and perennials, woody ornamentals, turf management, interior plants, pest control, basic landscaping, and identification and usage of common landscape plants.
