Collapse ▲Are you someone who loves gardening, wants to learn new things about plants and gardening, and is interested in making a difference in your community? Then being an Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteer could be just the opportunity you are looking for. N.C. Cooperative Extension – Davie County Center will be offering initial training classes for Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteers (EMGV) in early 2025. Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteers receive specialized training in gardening. Among the training topics are soils, diagnosing plant problems, plant propagation, lawn care, and growing fruits, vegetables, trees, shrubs, and flowers.

- Planting and maintaining the pollinator garden at the Town of Mocksville Park
- Assisting and instructing in community gardens
- Public outreach and education at farmers markets and other events
- Planning and holding youth camps and having hands-on gardening activities at public school activities like Farm Animal Day
The next initial training classes will be held in January to early May 2025. The classes will be taught once a week in-person at the Davie County Cooperative Extension office, 642 Wilkesboro St., Mocksville and/or over Zoom. Day of week and time TBD.
