Local Resources: The DCMGA

Are you looking for some gardening help in the Denton area? Check out the DCMGA:

The Denton County Master Gardner Association (DCMGA) has a mission:

…to educate Denton County residents about safe, effective and sustainable horticultural practices that promote development of healthy gardens, landscapes and communities.

The DCGMA is a volunteer program under the guidance of the Denton County Horticulture Agent. (I came across their website  while exploring the Texas AgriLife Extension Service’s website.) There’s a lot of helpful information available on the DCMGA website, including information specific to North Texas Gardening.

I was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed trying to sift through the gardening information I had been reading on the internet and in books, so I emailed the DCMGA help desk with my questions. (You can even give them a call, too!)

Within three days, I received a professional, courteous, and helpful reply with science-based answers. Thank you, DCMGA!
