The Texas Master Gardener Program is an educational activity offered by the Texas AgriLIFE Extension of Texas A&M University System. It is designed to increase the availability of horticultural information and extend horticultural projects throughout the community. It provides invaluable training and educational opportunities.
The objectives of the Texas Master Gardener program are to expand the capacity of Texas AgriLIFE Extension and to distribute horticultural information to individuals and groups in the community. It also strives to develop and enhance community programs related to horticulture. Depending on the community needs, these may be environmental improvement activities, horticultural therapy projects or community and school garden programs.
The McLennan County Master Gardener program began in 1997 with 16. We now have over 75 members.
Meetings are generally held on 2nd Wednesdays, noon, at Carleen Bright Arboretum in Woodway, TX. Contact Texas AgriLIFE Extension Service at (254) 757-5180 to confirm date, time and location.
