​in Mecklenburg County

We're dedicated gardening enthusiasts who've expanded our horticultural education and skills to assist the public on a wide range of gardening topics.

Ruby-throated hummingbird
Hummingbirds are drawn by instinct to the color red, but they are more attracted by the shape of the flower—blooms with a long, tubular trumpet.  This bloom shape cannot be utilized effectively by bees or wasps, offering nectar heaven just for hummingbirds!

  • ​Mint Hill library patrons kept our Mecklenburg Extension Master Gardeners busy! We staffed an “Ask a Master Gardener” booth at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation’s Around The World traveling festival on September 16, sponsored by Lowe’s. Little readers made seed germination necklaces, and our gardening experts answered questions about tomatoes, hydrangea, lawns, invasive plants and more. Our volunteers distributed free mums (courtesy of Lowe’s) to patrons, too! Thanks to volunteers Shannon DeRolph, Caryn Johnson, E.J. McGee, Kelly Rhoads and Bill Sloan.
