The goal of the University of Wyoming Extension Master Gardeners program is to educate participants about basic horticulture, entomology, soil health, botany, plant pathology, proper use of pesticides and herbicides, and other aspects of gardening and yard care.

Participants in the Campbell County Master Gardeners conduct yard visits to help homeowners with a variety of questions related to gardening; host an annual plant sale, garden walk, and educational events tied to gardening and landscaping; help manage the Coal Country, North, and Prairie community gardens (see individual listings below); oversee the Urban Orchard (see listing below); and partner with the City of Gillette to chip trees and branches, and the chips are then used for mulch.
