Thank you for your interest in becoming a Master Gardener for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension.

Master Gardeners are volunteers trained to assist the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in reaching its mission to bring relevant, research-based information in horticulture to the public. Volunteers are members of the local community who are enthusiastic, willing to learn, and want to educate other residents of Harris County.

Our 2023 class is already in session. If you would like to be notified about the 2024 training class, please add your name to the waiting list HERE.
