The Permian Basin Master Gardeners was established in 1991 with the goal of supporting the Texas AgriLife Extension Service and providing horticultural training to Permian Basin Citizens.
In 1991, we certified our first 12 Master Gardeners, and have since grown our membership to 88 certified members who serve Midland and Ector Counties year-round through educational opportunities and service projects.
Annually, our members volunteer thousands of hours in support of our mission, which stays the same to this day:
