Gardening

Our Home Gardening programs are designed to increase the homeowner’s ability to solve horticulture problems and develop an appreciation of natural resources. The Home Gardening program at Cornell Cooperative Extension-Broome County (CCE-BC) is very active and centers around Cutler Botanic Garden, a 4.5 acre living horticulture classroom located on the property of CCE-BC at 840 Upper Front Street, Binghamton, New York.

However, there are still learning opportunities here at Cutler Botanic Garden.  Applications are always accepted for the Master Gardener Assistant program of Cutler Botanic Garden. A lighter version of the Master Gardener Volunteer program allows you to take advantage of classes and trainings in Cutler Botanic Garden in return for providing service hours to Cutler Botanic Garden, working along side Master Gardeners on Tuesday mornings during the growing season. There is no minimum annual commitment.  More details here: Garden_Assistant_LH20.pdf

For more information please contact Linda Svoboda at ljs322@cornell.edu or phone 607-584-5016. For a volunteer application please visit our office or contact Carol at 607-772-8953 or e-mail clf62@cornell.edu.
