Gardeners Know The Best Dirt!!
Gardeners' Dirt began as a project of Victoria County Master Gardeners in July of 2003.
In the last 19+ years we have provided "gardening articles" on a very wide range of topics. All of our articles are written by members of VCMGA and most of the photos used have been taken and/or contributed by our master gardener members or "friends"!
Go to new website: txmg.org/victoria
If you would like to find information about a certain plant or topic, you can search in your search tool by just adding "vcmga" to the search and it will usually provide articles about that "topic."
You may also search for photos provided by VCMGA of plants or gardening ideas by adding "vcmga" to your search.
