The Denton County Master Gardener Association is an education and volunteer program affiliated with the Texas Master Gardener Association and the Texas AgriLIFE Extension within Texas A&M University.  

The program is designed to increase the availability of horticultural information and extend horticultural projects throughout Denton County. These goals are implemented through the training and volunteer efforts of the group.  In 2007 Master Gardeners contributed more than 8000 volunteer hours to  help schools, churches, businesses and citizens with various gardening projects. 

Master Gardeners also use their knowledge to answer gardening questions at the local extension office, sponsor educational programs, assist with youth gardening programs, and participate in city beautification projects.  Click Projects to see more.
