Oaks Nursing Home

The Master Gardeners have developed the interior courtyard of the nursing home in Burnet. This has been enjoyed very much by the residents because they see it every day from their dining room and some residents rooms. We have constructed raised beds with crape myrtles, lillies and earthkind roses.

Kingsland Library and Chamber of Commerce

Master Gardeners are doing the landscaping at the Kingsland Chamber of Commerce and the Kingsland Library. Projects are also under way at the Lakeshore Library in Buchanan Dam and the Spicewood Library.



School Projects in Burnet and Llano Counties

The Highland Lakes Master Gardeners are involved in projects for elementary, middle school, and high school students on  several campuses with custom designed programs to fit the needs of the students.




Rose Test Garden

The Master Gardeners have planted an official Rose Test Garden in Marble Falls in cooperation with Texas A & M University. We have planted 3 each of 6 different test roses under strict restrictions for watering and care in order to find roses that can be recommended to the public. We will be making observations and reports back to the University.







Children's Advocacy Center
Burnet, Texas

The Master Gardeners have landscaped the front of the Children's Advocacy Center to make it nice for the employees and visitors who visit this much needed facility. Watch for even more work coming soon.
