• Also look for Master Gardener Volunteers in the community at the local farmers market and fairs who will help you with your questions. Educational programs are offered on horticultural topics throughout the seasons. The Master Gardener Volunteer Program is well known for its high quality of information and the opportunity for the volunteer to become certified by MSU after completion of their volunteer internship. The volunteers establish and maintain gardens and landscapes in a variety of settings. A Demonstration Garden for your use and enjoyment is at the entrance to the Macomb office, the Macomb County Youth Home, the Sterling Heights Evangelical Home, grounds for city parks and public sites.
