Frequently Asked Questions:

A: The Master Gardeners Program is an Extension Program of Washington State University. Part of our charter as a Land Grant University is to provide this type of education, without charge.
However, Land Grant Universities also have restrictions on what activities we can fund. So, we have a parallel Foundation organization that helps us fund raise for those activities. So, if you find value in these presentations and have budget, please consider making a donation to our Foundation. The monies contributed go to expanding the programs and reach of Master Gardeners activities within the county.

Ask us for a “Custom” presentation when you submit your request. We cannot promise we’ll do it, but sometimes the topic you are interested in is also an area of interest to one of our Master Gardeners and your request could be the ‘call to act’ for them. Also, we can sometimes ‘lego-together’ modules from related presentations to better map to the topic you want covered. It never hurts to ask.
