One of our main objectives as Master Gardeners is to provide research based horticulture information to the public. Join us for a class or two.
Our Saturday Series Classes are taught at various times throughout the year. A nominal fee is charged for the materials used in these classes. Notifications are listed on this website and in the local newspaper. Call UT Extension at (931)526-4561 to reserve your seat. Classes are normally limited to 30 per class. Classes are held at the UT Extension Office at 900 S Walnut.
