Louisiana Master Gardener and Advanced Louisiana Master Gardener volunteers, under the direction of local coordinators, complete tens of thousands of hours of volunteer service annually. In 2025, more than 2,600 LMG volunteers logged a total of nearly 85,000 volunteer service hours with an economic value of more than $2.4 million. In addition to volunteer service, volunteers logged over 19,000 continuing education hours.
Over the past several years, Louisiana Master Gardener programs have continued to expand volunteer recruitment efforts in terms of reaching a wider range of ages and ethnicities. Participation in the program offers something for everyone, and we welcome new individuals bringing unique perspectives into the mix. The Louisiana Master Gardener program is a place for volunteers to have a fun, educational experience while serving the community in which they live.
