In the year that we celebrate the centennial year of Cooperative Extension, we have over 140 new UH MGs that successfully completed the UH Master Gardener Training Class of 2014! Welcome to the UH Master Gardener program! What sets a Master Gardener apart is their dedication to be a life-long learner in sustainable gardening practices. We don't know all the answers (and that's ok!), but we are dedicated to learning and sharing resources so that local home gardeners, school gardens, community gardeners and other small-scale gardeners can make knowledgeable decisions in their backyards. Training classes have come to an end, but your journey to contribute to your local community has just begun. Your local MG Extension Agent Coordinator wants you to succeed in earning your first Certification. Help your local Coordinator & encourage your fellow MGs to keep their commitment, reach certification, share knowledge, and learn with fellow MGs.

Busy Maui master gardeners have built new gardens to teach and learn about plants to support pollinators and beneficial insects, and plants to trap and repel insect pests. Plus, there are "bees at work" on Maui with apprentice master gardeners to care for them, all this while planning our UH Master Gardener Statewide Conference for October 24, 25, and 26. Read here.
