Another opportunity for the University of Arkansas Master Gardener exists in the form of the annual horticulture tour currently hosted by Janet Carson, Cooperative Extension Horticulture Specialist and State Master Gardener Program Coordinator. Previous destinations have included Chicago, Great Britain, and the Biltmore Estate. The Cooperative Extension Service divides the state into four districts for administrative purposes. The Statewide Master Gardener Advisory Board consists of two representatives from each district and two At-Large representatives. The function of the Board is to address issues facing the program and promote the University of Arkansas Master Gardeners on a statewide basis.
Board members serve a two-year term.
