Rutgers Master Gardeners of Morris County

Under the leadership of Rutgers Cooperative Extension, volunteers with the Rutgers Master Gardeners of Morris County provide assistance with home gardening questions to residents of Morris County.

Rutgers Master Gardener volunteers are trained to diagnose common plant and pest problems, suggest appropriate cultural practices and advise as to the best care for the home landscape and garden.
