The Gonzales Master
Gardeners are pleased to
announce registration for
the fall 2011 Texas Master
Gardener Class. Classes
will be held every other
Tuesday morning from 8:30
am to 12:30 pm at the Odd
Fellows Lodge in Gonzales
beginning September 6 and
ending in May.
If you love gardening and
plants, but nd that you nev-
er run out of questions about
why things turn out the waythey do; if you enjoy being
around other people who
love plants and gardening;
and if you have been look-
ing for that special oppor-
tunity to serve your com-
munity by sharing your love
of plants, then you are prob-
ably just waiting to join the
Gonzales Master Gardeners
in becoming a Texas Master
Gardener. Gonzales Master
Gardeners belong to a vol-
unteer program sponsored
by Texas AgriLife Extension
where they received qual-
ity educational instruction in
horticulture and then service
as a teaching outreach and
community service program
of Texas AgriLife Extension.
The Gonzales MasterGardeners offer a compre-
hensive class tailored to
local conditions and to the
interests of the community.
The program starts with a
class on soils in which stu-
dents learn about soils types,
structures and biology so
that they can understand
how their soil affects their
horticulture. From there,
the program moves to cover
a wide range of topics from
roses and native plants to
fruits and nuts. Instruction
is offered by specialists in
their eld and many of them
are college professors and
extension specialists. Stu-
dents also enjoy a range of
eld trips to botanical and
horticultural facilities wherethey can observe principles
they have learned put into
practice. In return for this
exceptional educational op-
portunity, students join other
Gonzales Master Garden-
ers in a unique program of
community projects. Upon
completion of 50 hours of
volunteer service, students
become eligible for certi-
cation by Texas AgriLife
Extension as a Texas Master
Gardener.
The class includes a mini-
mum of 50 hours of class-
room instruction and the
registration fee is $165. The
deadline for applications is
August 23, 2011 at 5 pm.
Applications are available at
the Gonzales County Exten-sion Ofce located at 1709
Sarah DeWitt in Gonzales
and completed applications
along with the registration
fee should be returned to the
Gonzales County Extension
Ofce. Applications are
also available on the Gonza-
les County Extension Ofce
website at http://gonzales-
tx.tamu.edu/ . Because the
Master Gardeners work with
vulnerable members of the
community, persons admit-
ted to the program must
undergo a condential back-
ground check conducted by
Texas AgriLife Extension.If you have questions, please
call the Gonzales AgriLife
Extension ofce at 830-672-
