Master Gardener Farmers’ Market Info Table & Veggie Sales

Plant Questions? El Paso Master Gardeners have the answers. You’ll find them at an Information Booth at the Farmers’ Market at Ardovino’s Desert Crossing.

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 gardening experiences in El Paso. The Information Tables are stocked with a wealth of free publications on growing vegetables, gardening, and landscaping. As produce becomes available in our demonstration garden, we plan to sell a variety of vegetables that do well in our desert environment.

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 August 16th.

We hope you visit our Information Table to learn more about landscapes and gardening in El Paso and about the Texas Master Gardener Program.
