The involvement of this group has become more noticeable within the community through there projects. projects consist of Landscaping of three historical house in the county, four beautification projects in both Lovington and Hobbs and operating the farm and garden show during the annual county fair. Since 2008 participation in the Master Gardeners has increased by 57%. This can be attributed to the annual course being moved from Lovington to Hobbs. In 2009 and 2010 the course has served 56 members of the community.
