Edible Gardening 101

With a little education everyone can be successful at gardening!

In January, the Master Gardeners kick the year off with a workshop featuring presentations and information booths related to edible gardening in Collin County. The goal is to offer the public opportunities to learn from veteran vegetable gardeners and local experts through lectures and hands-on displays.

The program consists of several presentations from local expert speakers on edible gardening related topics including what to plant, when to plant, and other success factors for vegetable and herb gardening in our area. Between presentations attendees can visit information tables hosted by the Master Gardeners to ask questions and get more info about soils, irrigation, and other related topics.

The Collin County Master Gardeners Association is an educational service organization of volunteers who are trained in horticulture, landscaping, soil improvement, water conservation, and many other topics important to Collin County gardeners. The CCMGA volunteer program is administered by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service through the Horticulture Agent in Collin County.
