 WHAT'S HOT

Master Gardeners Announce Fall Class
​We are now accepting applications 

The Master Gardener Training Program is an education/volunteer program conducted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension designed to increase the availability of horticultural information and extend horticultural projects through the community.  We are looking for individuals with the time and inclination to fulfill our community goals.
This is a wonderful way to learn through classes and hands on experience. You will be working with a team of dedicated people.
Registration is currently underway.  Classes start September 12, 2023 and run through May, 2024.  Our classes meet on Tuesday mornings for approximately 3 1/2 hours about every other week. They are from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the PACE building located at 623 Fair St, next to Gonzales Elementary. You will learn the secrets and science of gardening from experts in their fields and become a part of an organization that serves the community through the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. Class topics include botany, plant propagation, soils, vegetables, fruit and nut trees, insects, fertilizers, rainwater harvesting, and many more. Check out our schedule, requirements and history under Join Us and find our current application or contact the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office at 1709 Sarah DeWitt, 830-672-8531 for an application and more information.

More Information
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.
