Master Gardener Program
The Texas Master Gardener program began in 1978 when county agents could not meet the demand for providing horticultural information to the citizens of their respective counties. The idea of training volunteers to extend their reach seemed like the perfect solution. Today Texas has over 7,000 volunteers, the largest corps of Master Gardener volunteers in the nation, and one of the largest and most effective volunteer organizations in the state.
