Home Site Assessment

The Master Gardener Site Assessment program is meant to help the Monroe County community get engaged with their home landscapes in a way that is interactive, fun and informative. Our team of knowledgeable and skilled volunteers are excited to visit your home to help you learn about the problems you encounter, the plants you have, and the gardens you want to have!
