Request Volunteers

We appreciate the opportunity to provide assistance with your gardening project. Please copy and paste the Community Service Request listed below, fill it out and email.  Within two business days of our receipt of your request, our intake coordinators will contact you to gather additional information. We will re-contact you during the following two weeks to let you know if we are able to provide the requested service, and, if so, to coordinate and schedule a certified ACES Master Gardener(s), as available, to speak with or advise your group.

**Reminder: All Master Gardener activities need to include horticulture education, no matter how informal.  Master Gardeners should not be considered free labor. **
