Established in 1915, the Texas AgriLIFE Extension Service provides Texans with continuing education programs and services related to the food and fiber industry, environmental and natural resources conservation, family and consumer sciences, youth development, nutrition and health, and community economic development.
More than 900 professional educators and some 90,000 volunteers team up throughout Texas to serve families, youth, communities and businesses in all 254 counties. The agency was previously known as Texas Cooperative Extension.
The Master Gardener program in Collin County is an educational and volunteer program affiliated with the Texas AgriLIFE Extension Service of the Texas A&M University system.
The 200+ members of the Collin County Master Gardeners’ Association are citizens of the local community who not only take an active interest in their own lawns, trees, and gardens but also strive to promote sound horticultural practices in the community. Members receive invaluable training and continuing opportunities for education, then share their horticultural expertise through a wide variety of projects benefiting Collin County residents and organizations.

EARTH-KIND® GROWING TIPS:EARTH-KIND® GROWING TIPS: Select the proper site: A minimum of 6-8
hours sun, good drainage and good air movement.
Prepare the soil correctly: Add 3 inches of expanded shale on top of the area, and till it in six to eight inches deep.
Add 3 inches of finished, plant-based compost which will result in a 6-inch raised bed. Crown the bed to further improve water drainage.
Mulch: three inches
Do not add commercial fertilizers unnecessarily
Employ proper irrigation techniques: do not let foliage stay wet
Practice good maintenance – spacing and pruning
