Laramie County Master Gardeners

The Laramie County Master Gardeners (LCMG) are a dedicated group of passionate volunteers committed to educating our community about the joys and challenges of gardening in the unique high plains environment. We believe that everyone can succeed in the garden, regardless of their experience level, and we strive to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to create beautiful, thriving landscapes.

Our journey began with a shared love for plants and a desire to share our expertise. Recognizing the need for accessible and reliable horticultural information in our community, we partnered with the esteemed University of Wyoming (UW) Laramie County Extension to establish ourselves as a vital resource for gardeners of all stripes.

As a non-profit organization, LCMG plays a crucial role in advancing horticultural literacy within Laramie County. Our mission is multifaceted, encompassing a commitment to adult and youth education, community beautification, ongoing professional development for our volunteers, and active collaboration with the UW Laramie County Extension Office.

Recognizing the importance of staying current with the latest research and trends, LCMG fosters a culture of continuous learning among our volunteers. We encourage ongoing professional development through workshops, conferences, and online resources, ensuring that our educational offerings are always at the forefront of horticultural knowledge.

Furthermore, LCMG is deeply involved in beautifying our community through various initiatives, such as supporting demonstration gardens, advocating for pollinator-friendly landscapes, and offering guidance on creating sustainable urban gardens.
