Member Directory

September 2017

A directory of Master Gardeners who took

their core course through the NDSU

Extension Service in North Dakota

Foreword As we began our Master Gardener Pollinator Initiative, one of our program deficiencies came to light. We had been busy recruiting and training new Master Gardener Interns but we didn’t do a good job of introducing those interns to our more established Master Gardeners. The purpose of this directory is to help us build county and statewide networks. As you plan your volunteer projects, you will now have a resource to reach out to other Master Gardeners in your county and in the surrounding region. Many thanks to our wonderful MG Directory Team for designing this directory to foster a spirit of collaboration! Lou Ann Lee and Penny Seifert have demonstrated incredible professionalism and enthusiasm for this project. Thanks to their efforts, we have a resource for networking with other Master Gardeners in an area.

This directory will remain on our password-protected website. We would ask that you not share this information with individuals that are outside our program. Nobody wants to receive unsolicited

advertisements and emails!
