Master Gardeners

The following are Quail Valley Garden Club members who have completed Master Gardener Certification. Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are willing to learn and to help others and are able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What 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 horticultural-related information to their communities. Feel free to contact these valuable resources to our club and community.
