The DeKalb Master Gardener Association is just that — an association of about 40 Master Gardeners and friends in DeKalb County, Georgia. The organization was formed to foster more extensive educational, community service, and social events for interested Master Gardeners.
DMGA is classified as a "Master Gardener volunteer organization outside the UGA university structure" and receives no support or public funds through the Cooperative Extension Service.

Thank you, 2011 DMGA Spring Plant Sale customers and contributors!
For our eighth annual plant sale, we had outstanding support from gardeners who purchased plants at the sale and from gardeners who donated plants for the sale. Proceeds from this fund raiser will go toward horticulture scholarships, our Plant A Row For The Hungry and the Bird & Butterfly Habitat project gardens, and educational speakers for our public meetings.
