2027 Sullivan County Master Gardener Application Deadline

The 2027 Sullivan County Master Gardener Application Deadline is January 5, 2027, for gardeners interested in joining the upcoming Tennessee Extension Master Gardener training program in Northeast Tennessee.

This calendar entry marks the application deadline only. The actual 2027 Master Gardener Intern Training begins February 2 and continues through April 27 at the Ron Ramsey Agricultural Extension Center in Blountville.

Applications are currently open for the 2027 class.

Training Begins in February

Accepted applicants will participate in Master Gardener training on Tuesday evenings from February 2 through April 27, 2027, with sessions scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

The program will combine online lectures with required in-person class sessions. Training will be based at the Ron Ramsey Agricultural Extension Center, 140 Spurgeon Lane in Blountville.

The 2027 program costs $200.

The Tennessee Extension Master Gardener program prepares volunteers to share research-based horticultural information and support Extension educational programs within their communities.

Serving Northeast Tennessee Communities

The Northeast Tennessee Master Gardener Association includes volunteers representing Sullivan, Washington, Unicoi, Carter, Johnson, and Hawkins counties.

Master Gardener volunteers support horticultural education and community-service projects throughout the region. Their work may include educational programs, community gardens, horticultural demonstrations, and opportunities to help residents find reliable answers to gardening and landscape questions.

The program is intended for people who want to do more than improve their own gardening knowledge. Participants should also be interested in using what they learn to serve their communities as Extension Master Gardener volunteers.

Apply by January 5

Anyone interested in joining the 2027 class should complete the application process by January 5, 2027.

UT-TSU Extension Sullivan County provides the application and additional program information. Prospective participants who have questions about training or the application process can also contact the Sullivan County Extension office.

Because the training includes required sessions extending from February through April, prospective applicants should review the schedule before applying and make sure they can meet the program’s training commitments.
