El Paso Master Gardeners are bringing their locally grown produce and Information Tables to you this summer on week days at an easy to access location near Ascarate Park. Come to our Summer Vegetable Sales being held twice a month on the grassy area outside the El Paso County Tax Office on Manny Martinez Sr. Drive. As soon as the produce is harvested from our demonstration gardens, we’ll be selling a variety of vegetables that do well in our desert environment.

 

While you’re there, let us know if you have any plant questions. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service training provides El Paso Master Gardeners with research-based horticulture information and resources to enhance our wide range of experiences in gardening in the El Paso. In addition, our Information Tables are stocked with a wealth of free publications on growing vegetables, gardening, and landscaping.

 

Be on the lookout, too, for our El Paso Gardening Handbook created by the El Paso County Master Gardeners for our area. It addresses El Paso specific gardening concerns and best practices. It will appeal to both experienced and novice gardeners. The handbook was written in cooperation with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and provides research-based information. The handbooks may be purchased for $10 each. Only cash is accepted, no credit cards.

 

We’re happy to announce that our upcoming Master Gardener training class starts this fall. If taking an intensive horticulture course, getting hands-on experience, and volunteering to educate and serve the community in interesting and fun ways appeals to you, please talk with the Master Gardeners about this yearly opportunity. You may also read about it on our website. The last date to submit your application is this Friday, August 16th.

 

We look forward to talking with you about your gardening concerns and answering your questions.
