Welcome to the Website of the Permian Basin Master Gardeners.
We are an educational service organization of volunteers
trained by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. PBMG members are trained in horticulture,
landscaping, soil improvement, water conservation, rainwater
harvesting, greenhouse management, ground fire and drought
protection, garden entomology, and many
other topics of importance to West Texas Gardeners.
Our members offer services to
residents of the Permian Basin through a wide variety of
projects. These include
-
expert presentations,
workshops, and other public education efforts;
-
the annual Plant Sale at the
Midland County Horseshoe Center;
-
the annual Home and Garden
Show at the Horseshoe Center;
-
consultation at both the
Ector and Midland County Extension Offices
-
information available on this
Website.
Gardening remains the Number
One hobby in
the United States. Here in the Permian Basin – in spite of climatic
extremes and challenging soils – it is a highly popular pursuit. The
secrets of working with this area’s special conditions are what Master
Gardeners have spent long hours learning and sharing. We are happy
to pass along that gardening knowledge to you. (There is now
a small charge for some workshops and public information
presentations.)
