A “Master Gardener” is a gardening enthusiast of any age, who has been formally trained in Horticulture by the Extension Service. The Master Gardener does not know all the answers, but he or she does know the sources to consult to find the answers. You will have enhanced confidence in your own efforts in the garden, the opportunity to learn with professional instruction, the “Texas Master Gardener Handbook”, community service opportunities, gardener friendships, continuing educational opportunities through the Fort Bend Master Gardener Association, and much more! Master Gardeners provide volunteer service through the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Fort Bend County.
