Michigan Master Gardener Association
Genesee County Chapter
The purpose of our Genesee MGA is to bring together active
Master Gardener volunteers to serve as an educational resource to
MSU Extension - Genesee County in their common goal of providing
horticultural education to the citizens in the community. Everyone who
completes the Genesee Master Gardener Volunteer Training Program
(or transfers in) belongs to this association. A new website has been
created for our association, and it features our main volunteer projects,
links to gardening information, and more!
The Genesee MGA website's mission is described below:
The Master Gardeners of Genesee County are a volunteer group dedicated to learning about gardening and horticulture and sharing our acquired knowledge wth the people of Genesee County. We dedicate this website to the purpose of encouraging horticulture and gardening which through adding beauty improves the quality of the community's environment.
