About the Program

The horticulture program in Clark County is staffed by an Extension agent, Pam Bennett, a program assistant, Terry Smith, and a volunteer staff of 86 Master Gardeners. It consists of both a consumer gardening and commercial horticulture program. Our goal in both programs is to extend information from the university to the public in the area of horticulture and its related fields, including agronomy, entomology, and plant pathology, so that gardeners and commercial producers alike can be more efficient in growing plants, and be mindful of environmental stewardship.
