Join the OSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteers during the Clermont County Fair July 23-29, 2023 in Owensville, OH. These volunteers will be volunteering their time and talents to educate the community and assist the Ag Society.
As you visit the Floral Hall, stop by the MGV display to “Ask a Master Gardener” your gardening questions. Participate in the basket drawing which will be given away on Saturday. Learn the difference between bees, wasp, and flies. Then take the challenge to identify the animal tracks that you may find around your home or garden.
MG volunteers will be helping with intake in the Floral Hall for those displays and competitions for horticulture and floriculture. They will also be preparing the centerpieces for the VIP Tent hosted before the Friday evening concert.
We welcome the community to participate in our in-person Horticulture Education Series on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Brochure
