Llano County Master Gardener Association
Llano County Master Gardener Association is a community of gardeners. We are a non-profit educational and volunteer service organization, affiliated with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, an agency of Texas A&M University, and a member of the Texas Master Gardener Association. We are friendly, fun, inclusive, and hard working.
​
Llano County Master Gardner program's goal is to provide outreach, education programs and services to the people of Llano County. Educational programs, open to you, are given at monthly general membership meetings. Our projects include design, native plantings, plant identification markers, and upkeep of Llano Depot Garden, Pioneer Park (at the side of Llano Museum) and Llano Library. We have a twice yearly native plant and tree sale the first Saturday of April and the first Saturday of October. Proceeds of donations and sales are used for our college scholarship program and support for our educational projects. Check us out!
Project Gardens
Llano County Master Gardeners maintain public gardens in our community. We designed these gardens and continue to maintain them, adding plants and trees, pulling weeds, and pruning. These gardens are beautiful and educational. Plant and tree species are native or adapted, meaning they may do well in your yard.
Depot Sculpture Garden​
​
Depot Garden is a showpiece of environmentally friendly landscaping and sculptures by local artists. This once deserted rail yard features a monarch waystation, a desert garden, herb garden, and rose garden, featuring local wildflowers and grasses.
Butterflies love Gregg's Blue Mistflower. We have seen Queen, Border Patch, and Monarch's on them.
Pioneer Park
​
Pioneer Park is a quaint alley located between the Llano Historical Museum and the neighboring commercial property. At one point, this was a weed-choked deserted alley. Master Gardeners converted it into a beautiful pocket park.
Llano County Library
​
Llano library gardens surround the library entrance. Master Gardeners design the beds and maintain them. Library patrons and butterflies love diverse robust plants.
