OSU Extension Service Master Gardeners™ are volunteer educators, neighbors, and on-the-ground researchers who serve their community with solid training in science-based, sustainable gardening and a love of lifelong learning.
Garden Future is growing resilience in a changing climate. It is a statewide project of the OSU Extension Master Gardener Program. We’re gathering stories, ideas, and local wisdom from gardeners like you—and sharing them back as practical tips, inspiring examples, and resources to help your garden thrive, no matter the weather.
Take OSU’s 3-question survey to tell us:
- What changes you’ve noticed in your garden.
- What changes you’ve made.
- What you’d like help learning.

Quest for 50 Tons of Produce Donations In 2026, the OSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program celebrates 50 years of growing gardening knowledge, partnerships, and community across Oregon. As part of this commemoration, it’s hoped that we can reach a goal of 50 tons of food/produce donations. To donate your extra produce please bring it to Grow an Extra Row by 9:40 am on their Tuesday or Friday workday. GAER will record the weight of your donation and take it to the local food bank.
