 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. |
 What is a Master Gardener?
Master Gardeners are local volunteers in your community who work with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service to increase the availability of horticultural information and improve your community's quality of life through various horticultural projects.
Monthly Meetings
Williamson County Master Gardeners hold monthly meetings at 6:00pm at the Williamson County Extension Office, 3151 SE Innerloop Road, Suite A, Georgetown on the second Monday of each month. Master Gardeners and the public are welcome to attend.

November 9th, 2009 monthly meeting
Grace Bryce will be working with the newly emerging Oak Wilt Team to share their genesis, their training experiences, the evolution of their highly successful public outreach program and their plans for the future and letting others know how they can become involved in fighting the good fight against this devastating infestation to our live oak treasures in Central Texas. Oh yea, we are going to have elections this night as well; it could run a few minutes long.
December 14th – We are planning to have our 2nd annual Awards Program and Dinner once again at Angel Springs since we had such positive feedback from last year’s experience. Additionally, it was decided that we hire Bow Ties to Blue Jeans to cater the affair. Again, we are indebted to Norma and her family for providing us the use of their lovely facility.
