BCMGA is pleased to offer monthly seminars for Central Texas Gardeners presented by Certified Bell County Master Gardeners on a variety of gardening topics, from landscaping to irrigation to controlling pests and much more. We hope you find a topic that interests you and will join us for these fun and instructional classes, usually on Thursday nights.
The classroom is located in the Learning Center to the left of the Agrilife Extension offices, 1605 N. Main Street in Belton and shares the same parking lot. Seminars are free of charge but a $5 donation is accepted to cover handouts, etc.
To register email us at bcmgaspeakers@gmail.com or if a Bell County Master Gardener, you may signup on VMS.
*It is important if you register and cannot attend to let us know so materials can be obtained only for those attending and to ensure everyone can come and we don’t have to turn down attendees due to room occupancy…
