Welcome to the Wichita County Master Gardeners Web Page.
We are a group of people who live and garden here in North Central Texas. We are trained by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, and provide non-biased, research based horticultural information. The Wichita County Master Gardeners are a non-profit, service based organization of volunteers who give their time in the community teaching others, helping folks with their gardens and landscapes and learning a few things ourselves along the way.
