We are an educational service organization of volunteers trained in horticulture, landscaping, soil improvement, water conservation and many other subjects of importance to Texas gardeners.

Here in Collin County - despite climatic extremes and challenging soils - gardening is a highly popular pursuit. The secrets of working with this area's special conditions are what Master Gardeners have spent long hours learning and sharing.

We're happy to pass along some of that gardening know-how to you!
