Country Gardeners
Group Tours Garden
Learning Center
Master Gardener and Rainwater Harvesting Specialist Brad Acker-
man (far right) leads a group from the County Gardeners garden
club through the Garden Learning Center.
On May 19, 2012, members of the Crandall-area garden club,
Country Gardeners, went on a tour of the Kaufman County Master
Gardner Association’s Garden Learning Center. The Center, locat-
ed at 3003 S. Washington near the intersection of St. Hwy 34 and
FM 1388, consists of a rain water harvesting demonstration, nine
demonstration gardens and a greenhouse.
Master Gardener and Rainwater Harvesting Specialist Brad
Ackerman explained that the Center began as a result of a grant
from Texas AgriLife Extension, Texas A & M System to create
a large-scale storm-water management and rain-water harvesting
demonstration project as part of a public workshop. A rain gar-
den with a berm and a bog garden were constructed in conjunc-
tion to help mange overflow from the tanks and additional runoff.
Rain water is captured from the roof of the metal building housing
Kaufman County government offices and stored in two 3,000-gal-
lon tanks and several 55-gallon barrels. These containers are the
only source of water for the gardens. Although the tanks were emp-
tied by mid-summer last year, the plants in the gardens fared well.
More than 80 percent survived the harsh summer heat and drought
to flourish this spring.
Later, the Master Gardeners installed additional gardens to
demonstrate best practices for plant selection, cultural practices
like mulching, irrigation and integrated pest management. The
additional gardens include: bulbs, cactus and succulents, herbs,
shrubs, ornamental grasses, butterfly-attracting plants, Texas na-
tive and adapted plants and a selection of easy-to-grow plants.
Master Gardeners have recently added explanatory signs for each
garden and are in the process of adding informational signs for
individual plants. The aim is to make the Garden Learning Center
available for self-guided tours.
The gardens are open to the public, and guided tours can be
arranged by contacting the Kaufman County Master Gardeners
through the Texas AgriLife Extension Office (972-932-9069 or
sbburden@ag.tamu.edu) or on the Association’s website (www.
kcmastergardeners.org). The website also has information on up-
coming events, as well as many references on gardening, water lit-
eracy and other garden- and landscape-related topics. Texas Master
Gardeners is a program of Texas AgriLife Extension, Texas A &
M System. Educational programs of the Texas AgriLife Extension
Service are open to all people without regard to race, color, sex,
disability, religion, age, or national origin. Individuals with dis-
abilities requiring auxiliary aids, services or accommodations in
order to participate in Extension programs are encouraged to call
the Kaufman County Extension Office at 972 932 9069 to discuss
specific needs.
