Collin County Master Gardeners

Collin County Master Gardeners We are volunteers & Certified Master Gardeners who share research-based information on horticulture. All rights reserved.

Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their county Extension office to provide research-based horticultural information to their communities. Collin County Master Gardeners are the educational arm of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. Notice: We don't provide recommendations of brands or products to the public.

🌿 You bought fall plants. Now what?
First, THANK YOU to everyone who shopped the CCMGA Fall Plant Sale yesterday! We loved seeing so many plants headed to new homes across Collin County.

Now comes the important part: helping them settle in.

🏡 Plant them as soon as practical, checking mature size, sunlight and drainage needs before you dig.

💧 During the first six weeks, focus on roots. Check soil moisture regularly and water when needed as roots begin moving into the surrounding soil.

🍂 Add mulch to help moderate soil temperature and conserve moisture—but keep it away from stems and trunks.

❄️ As winter arrives, don't panic if some perennials stop growing or die back above ground. Dormancy is normal.

And don't forget those new plants during dry winter weather. Their roots are still establishing, even when there isn't much happening above ground.

Keep this post handy as temperatures drop—we'll have more cold-weather guidance when North Texas gets closer to its first hard freeze.

Thank you again for supporting the CCMGA Fall Plant Sale and putting a little more green into Collin County. 💚

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at the CCMGA Fall Plant Sale!
Whether you came home with a car full of plants or just one new addition to your garden, we appreciate your support.

A special thank you goes to our incredible volunteers whose time, knowledge, and hard work make this event possible each year. From growing and caring for plants to organizing, answering questions, and helping shoppers throughout the day, this event wouldn’t happen without you.

We hope you enjoy your new plants and look forward to seeing your gardens grow.
🌱 See you at our Spring Plant Sale!

A Great Day, Great Plants, and a Whole Lot of Gardening Enthusiasm!
The 2026 CCMGA Fall Plant Sale is officially in the books, and what a day it was!
Shoppers were lining up by 7:30 a.m. for our 9 a.m. opening. When the gates opened, the carts rolled, the plant hunting began, and our fantastic selection started finding new homes. The crowds were enthusiastic, the smiles were everywhere, and we sold out early. Apparently, Collin County gardeners don't believe in window-shopping!
Behind every successful plant sale is a tremendous amount of volunteer work. Our Collin County Master Gardeners put in countless hours preparing, selecting, organizing, and checking the quality of the plants to give our community the best possible selection. And throughout the sale, our volunteers were there to answer questions, offer gardening guidance, and help shoppers choose plants suited to their needs. Because buying a plant is exciting. Knowing how to keep it alive is even better!
That's what makes this more than a plant sale. It's community service, horticultural education, and a lot of dedicated volunteers working together to help Collin County residents grow successfully.
Thank you to our Master Gardener volunteers and to everyone who joined us! It was wonderful seeing so many happy gardeners heading home with plants ready for their next chapter.
The fall sale may be over, but CCMGA will be back with our Spring Plant Sale next year. We look forward to seeing you again!
Until then, may your gardens grow, your plants thrive, and your shopping carts remain safely parked. At least until spring.

The Plants Are Here, the Hard Work Is Done (Almost!), and We’re Ready for YOU!
The final shipment has arrived, the plants are finding their places, and our Master Gardeners are putting the finishing touches on this year’s CCMGA Fall Plant Sale! After plenty of hard work, teamwork, and a whole lot of plants, we’re almost ready to open the doors.
And what a selection we have! From bulbs and daylilies to perennials, trees, shrubs, and plenty more, there’s something to tempt just about every gardener. You might arrive looking for one plant and leave with a few new residents for your yard. We certainly won’t judge!
TOMORROW, Saturday, October 24
Myers Park & Event Center
Sale begins at 9:00 a.m. and continues until we sell out!
A few tips from your friendly Master Gardeners:
Come early for the best selection.
Bring a cart. Your future self will thank you.
Ask questions! Our Master Gardeners will be stationed throughout the sale, ready to help you choose the right plants, offer growing advice, and answer questions about planting and care.
All this work supports CCMGA’s mission of horticultural education and community service through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. Our Fall Plant Sale is our last major event of the year, and we’d love to wrap it up with a great turnout!
So, charge your phones, make room in the car, and prepare to meet some plants you didn’t know you needed.
We’ll see you tomorrow at Myers Park!
