Arkansas Master Gardener Volunteer Handbook

This manual has been developed to help familiarize you, the new Master Gardener, with the University of Arkansas, Cooperative Extension Service Master Gardener program, in general, and your county organization, specifically.  Each county can use this guide and develop an individualized volunteer handbook for their own county program.  Some counties incorporate a Master Gardener directory with member names, photos, addresses and other contact information.  Having a member directory is a great asset in larger counties and is a good way for new members to get to know others in the program.  

The manual is divided into seven sections for ease of printing and searching for a specific topic.
