SJC Master Gardeners live in two of the least populated Texas counties, but our territory is rich in flora and fauna. We are surrounded by the Sam Houston National Forest and the southern areas of Lake Livingston, Texas’ second-largest reservoir. Our members come from San Jacinto and Polk Counties and share their knowledge of and passion for horticulture.

We are life-long learners and trained volunteers who give time, knowledge, and expertise with propagation and growing plants to improve the quality of life for neighbors and visitors to our East Texas community. We support the Texas A&M Extension Program by providing educational opportunities to Texas residents, that offer research-based, effective, and sustainable horticulture practices for home and property.

We meet on the last Thursday of each month, except December. Social and educational outings take us to regional parks, horticulture centers, museums, birding sites, and much more. Having fun, learning experiences helps us build bonds of friendship as we deepen our education of horticulture.

Interested in Becoming a Texas Master Gardener?

If you have a love of gardening that pushes you to learn more about native plants, watering techniques, naturally improving the soil, and sharing your passion with the community and lifelong horticulture learners, then come join SJC Master Gardeners.

You’ll be required to take 50 hours of training and complete 50 hours of volunteer service to the chapter. Don’t worry, we have a variety of mentors and opportunities. Members of our chapter will be available at every class to answer questions and participate in discussions.

Our class meets on Tuesdays for 8 weeks. If you are ready to learn more and join a fun group that almost always had dirt under our fingernails, email SJCMG Vice President Dianne Chrestopoulos.
