Welcome to HCMG!


The Hill Country Master Gardeners is an organization of enthusiastic gardeners who happily share their knowledge with all who are interested

 

The Hill Country Master Gardeners formed in 2002 with membership open to citizens of Kerr and surrounding counties. Today our organization has more than 80 members who serve in partnership with  Texas AgriLife Extension Service, an agency of Texas A&M University. Statewide, there are more than 5,000 volunteer Master Gardeners working in 115 Texas counties.

Members of Hill Country Master Gardeners, like Master Gardeners everywhere, have received extensive horticultural training. In return for this training, we use this expertise to teach about the culture of plants and their importance to the environment and to quality of life. We are an educational, non-profit, volunteer service organization.  If you would like to learn more about the Master Gardener program, follow the links at the left. This will answer most of your questions, and you can always find more answers by calling the Kerr County AgriLife Extension office at 830.257.6568.  We welcome the opportunity to help you find the solution to your gardening problems, and we invite you to join us — become a Master Gardener!  And please check our Resources page where you will find an abundance of gardening information.
