Welcome

The Cameron County Master Gardener Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational and charitable entity that trains individuals in the science and art of gardening in partnership with the AgriLife Extension Service.

 

Program objectives are primarily implemented through trained volunteers— valuable resources in the field— who educate adults and youth through demonstrations, speaking engagements, the media, and community events.

The Education Garden, our demonstration garden, located at the County Annex on the corner of Williams Road and Expressway 77 in San Benito, includes butterfly and vegetable gardens, composting options, rainwater harvesting, and trees that grow well in deep South Texas.

 

Upcoming Events! For more information: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BdZwNndzc/ 

 

Membership meetings: Call our office at (956)361-8236

 

Interested in volunteering?  Contact Jenn Herrera, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Director.  Call 956.361.8236 and/or visit us on facebook: home / upcoming events.

 

Education Committee activities

Although some master gardeners work on Tuesdays from 8:30 A.M. to 11:30 A.M., volunteers are welcome anytime during the day.  Bring a buddy and/or plan ahead to work in bigger groups.  Remember, safety first! 

Essentials to keep in mind?  Gloves, sunscreen, water, high energy, and a smile!

 

Gardening questions?

Contact Jenn Herrera and/or Ask a Master Gardener.
