GMGA’s Objectives:

  • To increase the gardening knowledge of its members and the general public.
  • To support and assist Texas A&M AgriLife Extension by providing the four-county community with information on good gardening practices through news articles, clinics, presentations, schools programs and other community groups, by telephone and digital media.

Master Gardeners are volunteers, trained by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in research-based horticulture including soils, water conservation, composting, entomology, plant pathology and related subjects.  As County Extension Service volunteers, they give to the community by extending research-based knowledge and providing solutions in one-to-one problem solving, in a demonstration gardens and educational programs.  What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture.
