Learn How to Grow Roses, Shop Locally Grown Plants and More with Harris County Master Gardeners Next Month
August 14 2023
Every month, the Harris County Master Gardeners (HCMG) host events and classes free of charge and open to the public. Master Gardeners are volunteers for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. They are trained by the AgriLife Extension to bring relevant, research-based information in horticulture. Master Gardeners also hold six plant sales a year in Harris County to raise funds to assist the AgriLife Extension in its educational mission. And you're in luck - one of their plant sales is coming up next month!
Learn more about the upcoming plant sale, as well as several enriching classes, lectures and events happening in the community during the month of September.
