Agriculture & Horticulture Educators

Ashland County’s office does not currently have an Agriculture or Horticulture Educator.

The Agriculture & Horticulture Educators help to: connect local producers with one another and opportunities for education, economic development, and events, coordinates and manages the Master Gardener program, create curriculum and develop education resources, and provided education on local climate change issues to both Extension colleagues and program participants for climate change working groups.

With the support of state services and programming, your local Extension Office is able to connect Farmers and community members with Educators across the state to answer questions.
