Horticulture/Master Gardeners:
Our program in home horticulture addresses concerns relating to residential
lawns and gardens. Of special interest are pesticide safety issues,
the principles of integrated pest management as applied to commercial
and residential landscapes and the use and conservation of limited
resources such as water.
The Camden County Master Garderners are available Monday through Friday
from 9:00 AM -12 Noon on the Garden Helpline (856) 566-2900 to provide
environmentally-sensitive solutions to lawn and garden questions.
You may also email a question to njgarden@co.camden.nj.us.
Master Gardeners are also available to speak on a number of horticultural
and environmental topics. Please call 856-566-2900 if you are interested
in requesting a speaker. Soil tests may be purchased from the office
or through the mail. Results are usually available in 2-3 weeks.
The Master Gardener program is open to the public and classes are
held each year beginnning in February. Since the program began in
1996, volunteers have contributed 4878 hours (through 12/31/98). Valued
at $12.50/hour, the Master Gardeners have contributed $60,975 to Camden
County.
