Master Gardener Information Table
Plant Questions? El Paso Master Gardeners have the answers. You’ll find them at an Information Table at El Paso’s Home and 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 to augment their 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 also stocked with a wealth of free publications on topics ranging from composting to growing roses and tomatoes to landscape planning and design.
Kids’ Korner for Children
Bring your children to Kids’ Korner where they will be our guests for gardening activities designed just for them. They will be instructed by Master Gardeners on how to transplant seedlings from a smaller to a larger container. Your children can take home these little plants in Styrofoam cups so be deciding if the choice will be marigolds (flower), chilies (veggie), or parsley (herb). If time permits, your children can decorate the cups.
Master Gardeners on Home Show Garden Stage
