Who are Master Gardeners?

Lubbock Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn, willing to teach, and interested in helping others. Master Gardeners are able to communicate with diverse groups of people.

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 their cooperative extension office to provide horticultural-related information to their communities.

Meetings are held the first Tuesday each month (except December) from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Westminster Presbyterian Church at 33rd and Hartford.

Lubbock County Master Gardeners was organized in 1992. The organization is a member of the Texas State Master Gardeners Association and the Lubbock Council of Garden Clubs.
