Horticulture Hits from 
the LSU Agcenter




The Piney Hills Louisiana Master Gardeners are located in Minden, Louisiana.  The Louisiana Master Gardener program is a service and educational activity offered by the LSU AgCenter. The program is designed to recruit and train volunteers to help meet the educational needs of home gardeners while providing an enjoyable and worthwhile service experience for volunteers. 

Master Gardeners are part of the volunteer staff of the LSU AgCenter’s Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service. They provide unbiased, research-based educational assistance and programs on consumer horticulture issues to the gardening public.

The Louisiana Master Gardener program provides invaluable training and educational opportunities. The program is open to all people regardless of socioeconomic level, race, color, sex, religion or national origin. Master Gardener programs are all-volunteer programs sanctioned by land-grant institutions in each state and function as an extension of the college or university. In Louisiana, the program is sponsored by the LSU AgCenter and is directed by the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service.

Experienced and beginning gardeners seeking up-to-date horticultural information can advance their gardening expertise and gain self-satisfaction through volunteer efforts. The volunteer aspect of the Louisiana Master Gardener program allows individuals to dedicate their time and talents to enhancing the quality of life for citizens of their community by using the science and art of horticulture. It allows individuals to put into practice what they know and learn.  A copy of "How to Become a Piney Hills Louisiana Master Gardener" is available here.

The Piney Hills Louisiana Master Gardener class takes place at the Webster Parish Extension Office. 1202 Homer Road in Minden, beginning in June or July each year.  For 2023, the class schedule will be announced at a later date.  Classes meet three hours once a week for 10 weeks.  For information on how you can take part in the class, contact John Monzingo at (318)371-1371 or (318)927-3110.

A letter and application to the 2022 class can be found here.  A 2023 form will be published shortly.
