What Is a Master Gardener?
A Master Gardener is a gardening enthusiast of any age, who has been formally trained in horticulture by Texas AgriLife Extension and has completed a period of volunteer service.  Master Gardeners do not know all the answers, but do know the sources to consult to find the answers.
