The Gonzales Master Gardeners are people who love gardening and want to learn more about horticulture.  Master Gardeners enjoy sharing their plant knowledge with others and promoting the love of gardening. 

What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture.  In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through the Texas AgriLife Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to the community.

Gonzales Master Gardeners Members:
​Silent Auction

We had an awesome silent auction at last years Spring Plant Sale so let's try for another one! I hope you will consider donating items of at least $25 value.  Antiques, used garden items that are in good usable condition, hand-crafted items, quilts, wreaths, container gardens, bird houses and other wood crafts, paintings, framed photography, newly purchased items, etc. are just some examples of items that have been donated in years past.  
I hope this request will encourage you to clean out those closets, attics, garages, storage sheds, etc. in search of those hidden treasures that need a new home.  Please contact Arline S. by text message to notify me what you are willing to donate.  The item(s) may be brought to PACE labeled with your name and value of item. so that I can begin making out the bid sheets for the silent auction.  Thank you for giving this GMG fundraising opportunity some serious consideration. I look forward to hearing from you about some spectacular items for the SPS Silent Auction!
