The Highland Lakes Master Gardeners, a volunteer arm of Texas AgriLife Extension Service, are excited to present this free show as a public service to the residents and visitors of the Hill Country. This year’s show featured more than 25 exhibitors of garden related items. The Highland Lakes Master Naturalists will be there with nature books and information on their program and the Native Plant Society will offer an exciting array of native plants. There will be exhibitors from the surrounding Hill Country area offering plants, herbs, trees, veggies, garden equipment as well as other garden related items of interest. A booth especially for children will be included in this year’s show. We will have items like gift cards, trees, wonderful gift items and a beautiful handmade quilt in our raffle. We want to thank our many generous merchants for their generous contributions.
