Major Program: Master Gardener
Oldham County's population is just over 65,000. Residential areas make up about one-half of the county, and information about food and landscape production is in high demand. Extension Master Gardener volunteers help address this need through a variety of service work in Oldham County. Their work helps foster self-reliance skills, a goal identified by Oldham County Extension Council for the county plan of work. Master Gardeners complete the Extension Master Gardener program
