Thank you for your interest in being a vendor at our 2026 Annual Conference.

The Georgia Master Gardener Association (GMGA) is a certified 501(c)(3) charitable organization composed of active Master Gardener Extension Volunteers certified and trained through the University of Georgia Extension Service. On October 16-17, 2026, the GMGA is hosting its annual conference at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Garden at the Historic Bamboo Farm in cooperation with the Coastal Georgia Master Gardener Association (CMGA), another certified 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We expect approximately 150 attendees. The vendor site is also accessible to the public. We share a common mission: to promote the knowledge and dissemination of university based horticultural research to the public through a statewide network of Master Gardeners. Our annual conference not only serves to update our members; it is also a major source of funds for our projects throughout the state. We provide resources to homeowners, programming for public and private schools, gardening resources for physically and mentally challenged adults and children and assist in the renovation and preservation of historic gardens in our state. These activities are supported entirely by membership dues and sponsorships and donations from the public.
