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. 
President’s Message-June, 2022
Congratulations graduates of Master Gardener Class #11. Completing the course study and volunteering is a major achievement. We welcome you as Gonzales Master Gardener members. The class graduated April 26 after touring the Luling Foundation facilities, completing a post-graduation exam, and enjoying a catered lunch. The Texas Master Gardener program began in 1978. In the 1990’s the Texas Master Gardener Association was organized. Gonzales Master Gardeners (GMG) was formed in 2010 by four Master Gardeners that had relocated to Gonzales County. The Master Gardener program has been designed and is under the direction of Texas A & M AgriLife Extension, the horticulture course of study encompasses a minimum of fifty hours of training and the same number of volunteer hours. Certified Master Gardeners continue to improve and share their gardening and horticultural skills by volunteering at the PACE building, the greenhouse, Eggleston Children’s Garden, the March and April Plant Sales and other educational and social activities. The ongoing participation of GMG members maintains the positive force in advancing gardening knowledge within the community.
