The
Angelina County Master Gardeners are county residents who love
gardening, have received 70 hours of instruction in
horticulture, have completed 70 or more hours of community
service and desire to share their knowledge of home gardening
with the public. The purpose of the Master Gardeners is to
promote gardening in Angelina County by teaching and sharing
information about all types of home gardening with the public.
There are currently 30 Master Gardeners in Angelina County who
have volunteered in a variety of gardening projects.
Demonstration gardens have been planted and maintained for
several years at the Farmer’s Market. A “Stumpery”, or shade
garden in the dry creek bed was added to the demonstration
gardens. Master Gardeners
answer questions about home gardening at the Extension office,
and
speak to garden clubs and civic groups. Each April a plant sale is held, featuring plants
propagated and grown by members. Proceeds are used to fund
educational programs for the county.
