Who are Guadalupe County Master Gardeners?

They are people who love gardening and want to learn more about horticulture. Master Gardeners enjoy sharing their 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.

We meet the third Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Guadalupe County Office of the Texas AgriLife Extension Service located at 210 Live Oak, Seguin, Texas 78155. Meetings include a guest speaker and are open to the public. Meeting program topic details are included on the Calender of Events — check it out and join us.

For additional information or gardening questions please call us at (830) 379-1972 or (830) 303-3889.

Questions are also answered on the KWED 1580 AM Master Gardener radio program every Saturday from 9-10 a.m.
We’ll answer your burning gardening question on the air:  830.372.1580 or toll free 1.800.361.1580.
