This year the Denton County Master
Gardener Association celebrates its 20th year!
The Master Gardener program is an education and volunteer initiative 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 2008 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.
