Interested in Gardening and Sharing Your Knowledge?

Master Gardeners are community members passionate about plants – whether it’s lawns, trees, flowers or vegetables. They’re curious, service-minded, and eager to learn and teach.

What sets Master Gardeners apart? They receive specialized training in horticulture. In return, volunteer with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to share research-based gardening knowledge with the public.

Want to become a Master Gardener?

Training classes in Walker County begin each January, and spots fill quickly. If you’re interested, reach out early in the Fall!
