Thank you for your interest in the Rutgers Master Gardener Program in Union County. Our 2025 Master Gardener training program will begin in January 2025.
Union County will be participating in a new pilot Rutgers Master Gardener Volunteer training program. Classes will be held on Wednesday mornings at the Trailside Nature and Science Center, 452 New Providence Road in Mountainside. The new course will feature horticultural training with an emphasis on volunteer training. There will be nine counties participating in this new pilot program.
