• While a Master Gardener

does not have to belong to VMGA or a local association to be an active VCE Master Gardener, membership in the state association, VMGA is an important way to show support for the Association’s work and to give direct input to VCE.

About the VMGA (cont’d)

• Non-Profit Organization
• Guided by elected individuals who have an interest in

the issues concerning the Master Gardener volunteer at the state level.
