Extension Master Gardener volunteers help to expand the outreach efforts of the Horticulture program in Boyd County.  They are a vital part of Cooperative Extension Service in the community by helping to present educational programs using their gardening experiences and knowledge they have gained through the Master Gardener class and the educational programs they have at their monthly meetings.  They volunteer to help plan and execute such extension programs as Farmers Market, the Holiday Wreath Program, the Master Gardener Class, the County Fair, Garden Shed Herb Day, Vegetable Field Day, as well as many informational booths at community events and the general upkeep of the Extension demonstration gardens and landscape.  This year a total of 1,259 hours were volunteered by Boyd County Master Gardeners towards Extension programming.  This is a total value of $27,698 to the community.
