Default Master gardener help?

You may not get as much help from this source as you would like. Were I to
ask a MG to do this in my state (and this is where the MG program started),
I would be telling THEM what plants were what. If you have pretty basic
plantings - ie., your standard foundation plants, etc. - this may work.
Otherwise you may want someone in with a higher skill level.. Ask at a local
nursery if they can recommend a horticulturist to assist with this task. You
will have to pay for their time but at least you can count on what they are
telling you is accurate.

In response to one of my posts about my recently acquired garden, someone
posted that an agricultural organisation would send someone out, usually a
volunteer master gardener, to help with identification of plants. I
thought
this was an excellent idea, but didn't think to ask how to go about this.

Now then, bearing in mind I'm from England and have no idea how things

work
over here in Texas (but I'm learning ;-), can anyone give me some pointers
of who or where I should be approaching to go about this?

The alternative would be for me to take a whole bunch of pics and post

them
on my website for y'all to look at. Meh, I might just do that anyway! But

I
do think it would be great to have someone walk around my garden with me
and share their knowledge.
TIA.
