 The Master Gardeners of Hardeman County Tennessee welcome you to our new website.
Our members are avid gardeners who've taken an active interest in growing a more beautiful community. While we take pride in our own lawns, shrubs, trees, flowers and vegetable gardens, we're also committed to sharing our knowledge with others in the community. After completing special
training in horticulture from the University of Tennessee Cooperative Extension Office, our members contribute their time to benefit the community. We plant and maintain community garden beds, provide speakers for various community functions and conduct how-to workshops. Field
