Rockwall County Master Gardener Association Inc

RCMGA has one mission and it's focused on educating the community about all-things gardening! 

We are a volunteer organization of 51 certified Texas Extension Master Gardeners under the leadership of Rockwall County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. Collectively, our organization volunteers over 5000 hours annually in support of our mission to provide science-based, horticultural education and advice to the residents of Rockwall County. Our outreach comes in many forms, from classes and events for people of all ages and abilities, to our widely popular and accessible Ask A Master Gardener Program. The Ask A Master Gardener program features semimonthly, in-person consultation at the Rockwall County Public Library, weekly in-person or phone consultation from the Rockwall County AgriLife Extension Office and scheduled home visits to advise and identify particular issues. The program culminates in the warm weather months at the Rockwall Farmer’s Market, featuring familiar faces, great conversation, and gardening advice under the Rockwall County Master Gardener tent.

Our reach extends even further with our award-winning EnviroSmart newsletter, our Here We Grow column in the local Blue Ribbon News and exclusive spotlight articles in Rockwall Neighbors and Neighbors of Heath magazines. These online and printed publications round out our continual drumbeat of timely, horticultural content specific to Rockwall County.

In total, Rockwall County Master Gardener Association creates an estimated 157,000 community contacts annually and is continually evolving to extend the best in horticultural knowledge throughout the community.
