Marilyn Love Speaks to Rotary About Hays County Master Gardeners on September 16
Marilyn Love speaks to the Rotary Club of San Marcos on September 16 about the Hays County Master Gardeners Association (HCMGA). Love is a certified Master Gardener and regularly speaks to groups about native Texas plants, rain harvesting, and Earth-kind landscaping. She was born in Texas but lived for 35 years in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states before retiring back to Texas in 2010. She has served HCMGA as president, vice president, trainer and membership chair.
Love will share information about the national and local histories of Master Gardening organizations in the U.S. Her focus will be on community service projects the group does around Hays County. There are about 145 volunteers in the group who put in more than 7500 hours of volunteer time each year designing, installing and maintaining landscapes in the county. In 2020, the Texas Master Gardener Association gave HCMGA first prize in their annual awards for outstanding work creating Jacob’s Well Greenhouse and Demonstration Garden.
The Texas Master Gardener program is part of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, training and supporting a network of volunteers to provide horticultural-related information within communities all over Texas.
Rotary meets on Wednesdays at noon at the VFW Hall, 1701 Hunter Road, in San Marcos. Visitors are always welcome at Rotary meetings.
