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.
