Established in 2005, the Hickory County Master Gardeners club provides an opportunity for novice and experienced gardeners to learn and share knowledge with others. The club is a chapter of the MU Extension Missouri Master Gardener Program, a statewide education and volunteer program. As representatives of MU Extension, Master Gardeners are involved in a variety of activities that benefit community, families and individuals while developing horticultural interests.
Current Hickory County projects include:
- McCarty Senior Center and Community Garden, Wheatland
- Settlers Village and Herb Garden, Wheatland
- Welcome to Hermitage Signs
- Hickory County Courthouse, Hermitage
- Hickory County Library, Hermitage
- Hickory County Extension Office, Hermitage
- Preston Post Office

Hickory County Master Gardeners meet at 1:30 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of the month in the Hickory County extension office meeting room.
Get in-depth horticultural training and join the Master Gardeners in “helping others learn to grow.”
