Mission Statement
Our purpose is . . .
  •  to provide resources that facilitate transition toward sustainable living,
  •  to incubate ideas for local sustainability projects and services, and
  •  to raise awareness of key environmental issues that affect the Texoma region

Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people.

What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their Extension office to provide horticultural-related information to their communities.
Is the Master Gardener Program for Me?

To help you decide if you should apply to be a Master Gardener, ask yourself these questions:

    * Do I want to learn more about the culture and maintenance of many types of plants?
    * Am I eager to participate in a practical and intense training program?
    * Do I look forward to sharing my knowledge with people in my community?
    * Do I have enough time to attend training and to complete the volunteer service?

The North Texas Green Council is proud to be one of the leading providers of educational information related to the green built environment in Texas. We have plenty of opportunities for members, sponsors, voluteers and advocates.

Meetup.com creates an online space where you can post your profile, participate in online discussion, and then meet with people in person to participate in weekly or monthly groups events. (Interests range from outdoor  enthusiasts to fiction writers to movie goers to political affiliations to musicians… and more.) Just go to meetup.com and run a search with your zip code to find out more.

There are quite a few green Meetup groups that meet regularly in the DFW metroplex.
