Welcome to the Garfield Park Master Gardener Association (GPMGA).
The goals of the GPMGA are to share knowledge about gardening with our members and others and offer volunteer opportunities.
GPMGA Next Meeting: July 9
The Garfield Park Master Gardeners and their guests will enjoy delicious picnic food and great summer fun at the GPMGA Annual Picnic on Wednesday, July 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the Garfield Park Corporate Shelter (near the Arts Center).
As in past years, the GPMGA will provide the main meat (from City Barbeque) as well as buns, water, plates, napkins, utensils and cups. If they would rather, members also may bring their own plates and utensils to support sustainability.
Members are asked to bring a side dish or dessert according to the following division by last name.
If your last name begins with:
–A-M Please bring a side dish to share!
–N-Z Please bring a dessert to share!
The GPMGA Board will meet in the corporate shelter after the picnic clean-up occurs. Members are welcome to attend; however, attendance is not required.
In addition to gathering suggestions about the organization, the meeting will allow members to become more familiar with the GPMGA Board’s operations and to express any desires to take a more active role the organization.
