That Time We Talked to the Master Gardeners 
 
In this episode Craig and Kevin talk with Linda and Michael from Montgomery County Texas Agrilife Extension Service.  We were live on site and got a tour of their amazing facility.  We learned a lot about what it takes to become a master gardener and what the Extension Service is doing to research what grasses, plants, trees, herbs, and other plant life grows in our region.  Do you want to know more about what will grow in your yard based on research and testing?  This episode gives insight into what you can do to ensure a great looking yard!
