Robin Trent of Faulkner County has been named the 2025 Arkansas Master Gardener of the Year, earning one of the state’s highest honors for volunteer service and leadership in horticulture.
The award was presented during the Arkansas Master Gardener Program State Conference held June 2-4 in Conway. Trent’s recognition comes just 4 years after being named Rookie of the Year, highlighting an extraordinary commitment to service and community involvement.
According to the Arkansas Master Gardener Program, Trent contributed more than 600 volunteer hours during 2025 across 12 different projects.
