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’s Next Meeting: July 8
The Garfield Park Master Gardeners again will enjoy the GPMGA annual picnic Wednesday, July 8, at 6:30 p.m. in the Garfield Park Corporate Shelter (near the Arts Center).
GPMGA will provide meat from City Barbeque (including buns), water, plates, napkins and utensils. Members are encouraged to bring their own plates and utensils to support sustainability if they wish.
Also, please consider bringing a dish to share. If your last name begins with:
–A-M Please bring a side dish to share
–N-Z Please bring a dessert to share
Members are also invited to bring a centerpiece they have created to decorate one of the picnic tables.
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.
