 The Williamson County Master Gardeners
are volunteers who work with the Texas AgriLIFE Extension to improve gardening skills throughout the community. Program objectives are implemented through the training of local volunteers known as Master Gardeners.
We collaborate with Extension to conduct youth and community education; establish and maintain demonstration gardens; and provide a speakers bureau.
We work with special audiences in the community (4-H horticultural clubs, Junior Master Gardener groups, schools, and others) for youth and community outreach of a horticultural nature. We recruit and educate new Master Gardener candidates for effective volunteering. |
