Steele County Moves to Defund Master Gardener Program in 2027 Budget
Original: Steele County moves to defund Master Gardener Program ahead of 2027 budget
Steele County, Minnesota, is moving to eliminate funding for its Master Gardener Program as officials begin shaping the 2027 budget. The program, typically run with University of Minnesota Extension support, trains volunteer gardeners who provide horticultural education and community projects. County commissioners appear to be weighing cuts to discretionary programming, and the proposal has drawn attention from residents who value the program's local outreach and educational services.
Why now: Local residents and gardeners are reacting to the county's decision to cut a long-standing community education program from its budget plans.
