The Highland Lakes Master Gardener Association will offer a certification course at the Texas AgriLife Extension office in Burnet beginning Tuesday, February 17, 2026.
The call for applications is now open! Applications must be received by January 30th, 2026.
The course provides a comprehensive background in horticulture principles and practices with an emphasis on conservation, sustainability, and community service. Experts are invited each week to speak on such topics as soil composition and amendments, trees, entomology, vegetable gardening, water irrigation, plant taxonomy, invasive plants, landscape design, water conservation, plant propagation, grafting, and rainwater harvesting. We expect to have several field trips planned. The classes are fun and stimulating. They not only train the participants to be more knowledgeable gardeners for personal use but also to be of service and a resource to the community.
