The Madison County Master Gardener Association
is located in Madison County, Indiana. Our county seat is
Anderson.
One of our primary purposes is to
promote good gardening practices in cooperation with the
Cooperative
Extension Service of Madison County and
Purdue University's
Master Gardener Program.
Beginning in 1995, our organization
was formed by Master Gardener Interns who wanted to assist each
other in learning new gardening techniques and in performing
volunteer education projects around the area. MCMGA is a
non-profit organization approved under IRS code Section 501 (c)
(3).
Our members participate in
four general areas of activities from meeting with fellow
gardeners to raising vegetables and raising funds.
Like many other Master Gardener
groups, we have received
training from Extension personnel and other gardening
experts. Though we come from all occupations and walks of life,
we have learned information to help us better understand how
plants absorb nutrients, fight or fall victim to diseases, how
to recognize pest problems, handle pesticides and fertilizers
and other ways we can interact with nature in growing plants.
If you have questions about becoming
a Master Gardener, you can learn more about this program at the
Purdue Master Gardener
page. Otherwise, if you have a question for one of our
Executive Committee members, please contact us through the
e-mail addresses listed below. We would love to hear from you, and
happy gardening! |
