VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Master Gardener Volunteers are neighbors teaching neighbors about horticultural topics and environmentally sound gardening practices. Master Gardeners volunteer at public sites including Suffolk County Farm Herb and Children's Garden, The Northport VA facility, the Medford Train Station, the Vanderbilt estate and the Ketcham Inn to name a few. Master Gardeners are active at community gardens in South Huntington, Brentwood, Northport, and Bellport.
