Plant Questions? El Paso Master Gardeners have the answers. You’ll find them at an Information Table at El Paso’s Home & Garden Show. Bring your questions to our Information Table where we’ll be happy to help you and share our informative brochures.
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service training provides El Paso County Master Gardeners with research-based horticulture information and resources as a foundation for our wide range of experiences in gardening in the El Paso. Certified Master Gardeners and Master Gardener Interns share that knowledge with members of the community who visit our Information Tables at many public events throughout the year. The Information Tables are stocked with a wealth of free publications on growing vegetables, gardening, and landscaping.
