Master Gardeners designed and maintain landscaping at Caddo Gap Indian and Senior Walk .

Flower beds the Master Gardeners designed and maintain have been a true success at Montgomery County Nursing Home and greatly enhance its appearance. The garden area that was added for our residents has paid tremendous dividends in their mental well-being. The bottom line is the Master Gardeners Program in Montgomery County is truly an asset in all rights and we remain forever grateful for their acts of good works and kindness. - Bryan Wann, Nursing Home Administrator
