Georgia Master Gardener Association, Inc. is a non-profit association of Georgia Master Gardener Volunteers through cooperation with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Cooperative Extension.
Our Association was formed to provide a platform to bring Master Gardener associations in the State of Georgia together; to provide a forum for information and idea exchange which will promote our overall goal; to assist the Extension by providing qualified volunteer help to educate and inform the general public on good horticultural practices.
Membership for GMGA is available exclusively to Master Gardeners who have completed their courses through their county UGA Cooperative Extension and paid an annual membership fee of $15.00 to GMGA. To find your closest extension office see below.
