The Albuquerque Master Gardener Program is now accepting applications for 2022 - see below. We are community volunteers trained in horticulture by the New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service. We can answer both general and specific questions about all aspects of growing things. We can help you understand the science of the various soils in our area and tell you what grows best here.
We can help with those pesky entomology, or bug, problems. We have up-to-date information about plant botany, plant diseases, growing fruits and vegetables, caring for your lawn, and growing roses. Are you interested in xeriscaping? We have information about that as well. We are here to help you develop gardens that will thrive and be beautiful in our arid landscape.
Look through our frequently asked questions (FAQs). Explore our resources. Once your question has been submitted someone will contact you to help you solve your problem. Don't want to wait for an email? Between March and October you can call the Master Gardener Hotline at (505) 292-7144 or (505) 243-1386, from 9:30AM to 2:30PM daily, including holidays and weekends, to speak to a Master Gardener in person.

Unfortunately, the 2021 Albuquerque Tomato Fiesta has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control.
The nature of our Fiesta does not lend itself well to social distancing and masks, with recipe tasting, tomato tastings and open food etc.
It was not certain that this type of an event could or should be held at this time.
The Tomato Fiesta is held at the Albuquerque Garden Center, 10120 Lomas NE, Albuquerque, in Los Altos Park.
The city of Albuquerque has closed Los Altos Park entirely, except for the pool and the Garden Center, for an extensive renovation project.
