The Master Gardener program is a volunteer development program offered by Texas Cooperative Extension and is designed to provide educational programs to the public in the areas of horticulture and gardening through certified volunteer Master Gardeners. We are seeking persons who have experience, skills and/or knowledge in gardening, ornamental horticulture, vegetable gardening and/or related areas. Program participants should be able to communicate with the public by telephone, personal contact, as a speaker or through written correspondence. Master Gardeners are supervised by the county horticulturist who provides support to the Master Gardener volunteer program and assigns, reviews and assists the Master Gardener work.
