2021 Plant Sale and Expo and Garden Tour UPDATE

Due to the uncertainty around the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the unfolding plans for vaccinations, we are only tentatively scheduling these events for 2021. As more information, details and guidelines unfold, we will keep our readers updated via all our communications. Our event pages on this website have been taken down for now.

Check out the DIBBLER for articles by our Cobb County Master Gardeners, for insight on gardening ventures, techniques and knowledge.

Shut down does not mean you are shut out of gardening information that can help you at home! Our RESOURCES page has links to a wide variety of “Master Gardener Approved” websites to help you learn from the convenience of home. This includes the link to UGA Extension publications for your home and garden. Check it out!

Here are some links to keep you busy and help you become a smarter gardener this spring:
