Being a Llano County Master Gardener is fun. We learn a lot and help our community. Monthly meetings have great presentations about gardening and nature. Each year, master gardeners must complete a minimum number of education and volunteer hours. There are nominal dues due in December for the next year.

Board Meetings are held at Llano County Extension meeting room at 9:30 am on the Tuesday before the General Membership Meeting.

General Membership Meetings are held at 5:30 pm on the third Thursday of the month at the Llano Library meeting room or the extension office meeting room. The first 45 minutes of each meeting is an educational presentation that counts toward your education hours requirement. The remainder is a business meeting. There will be food.
