Community Gardens
Master Gardeners work with the OSU Extension's Community Gardening Program, and provide mentoring at many of the program's gardens (see map of gardens). The committee trains Master Gardener Volunteers as mentors to help community members start and grow vegetable gardens. The mentors stretch the arm of the OSU Extension staff by providing support, answering questions, demonstrating gardening techniques and working one-on-one with garden leaders. In 2019, the committee matched 34 MGVs to 54 gardens, based on geographic proximity and need.

ON-Demand Community Garden Mentoring Service
	Assistance is now available to Community Garden members and leaders in the Summer Sprout and the OSUE suburban garden program.  Our ON-Demand Mentoring Service will answer questions and provide support to gardeners through Master Gardener Volunteers. Available: May 1 - September 30

Gardens
Master Gardener Volunteers mentor gardens organized through two programs, the Summer Sprout Gardens in the City of Cleveland and Suburban Gardens primarily in the inner ring suburbs.
