An Abundance of Volunteer Opportunities in Support of Our Community

To help you fulfill your volunteer obligation of at least 12 hours a year, here is a list of Guadalupe County Master Gardener volunteer projects. Some have no chair or coordinator (you are welcome to take the project over); others have a chair or coordinator listed so that you can ask questions or volunteer. Remember, all of these projects need you to help. Even if you do not want to be the chair, you can still volunteer and help make Guadalupe County a better place.

If you do not have a directory of master gardeners with their contact information so that you can directly reach a project coordinator, call the AgriLife Extension Office and a staff member will put you in touch. (830.303-3889)

Seeds Needed

We need seeds for our events. Just drop them by the AgriLife Extension Office, labeled with the name (common name & Latin if you know it) and the year they were harvested. If there is a specific color, mention that too. No Mountain Laurel please. If the seed is rare or an heirloom, add that to the description.
