Texas Master Gardeners is a volunteer service program designed to bring best horticultural practices to county residents. They assist in school garden and horticultural therapy projects, community and demonstration gardens and conduct gardening education and discussion programs.
To become a Texas Master Gardener, trainees attend a minimum of 50 hours of instruction conducted through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, then share this knowledge by donating 50 hours of volunteer service back to the community.
