For Master Gardeners

Home

The Oregon State University (OSU) Master Gardeners Douglas County is a volunteer organization in collaboration with OSU Extension Service. This program educates Oregonians about the art and science of growing and caring for plants. This program also facilitates the training of a highly educated corps of volunteers who extend sustainable gardening information to their communities through education and outreach programs. Established in 1984, the Douglas County Master Gardeners Chapter is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that functions to support OSU and the community through educational projects.

Master Gardeners are trained volunteers, educated through OSU Extension Service to offer the local community Reliable, Relevant and Reachable gardening information and education opportunities.

Reliable:   Our gardening advice and education is science-based.
Relevant:   We offer customized information for your gardening situation.
Reachable:   Call, e-mail, or visit us at our Plant Clinic, community markets, and at our showcase Discovery Garden.

Soil Testing…It’s Back!

After a hiatus of several months we’re happy to announce that we are now returning to the business of testing soil. After careful research and evaluation of several soil testing products we are changing up our testing just a bit! We will be testing for pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. These are the key tests for the home gardener. Along with the results you will receive links to several great OSU publications. Soil test cost will be $7.50 for Master Gardeners and $15 for non-MGs. So dig up a sample and drop it by the Extension Office (1134 SE Douglas in Roseburg) and we’ll test it for you!

Soil testing can be done any time your soil isn’t frozen or overly wet. The best time of year for sampling is in the spring or fall. How to take a Soil Sample
