We tripped down memory lane celebrating 30 years of helping the people of Gwinnett County be better gardeners. Over the years GCMGA has established and maintained demonstration gardens, helped start school garden projects, and answered questions on gardening and the problems gardeners encounter at many venue locations. They also support school and community gardens with grants through funds made at their annual Plant Sale and other fundraisers. It was wonderful to see so many members over the year come together tonight! Related Images:

July 2023 Meeting
Our July 17th meeting was our annual Photo Contest reveal. The pictures that our own members take were stunning and you’d enjoy seeing landscapes, master gardener projects, small gardens, specimen plants and wildlife. Our judge, Eric Bowles, said he really loved all the entries this year. Eric is an Atlanta based Nature photographer specializing in the Southeastern United States. His work has been published in magazines, newspapers and commercial publications. He critiqued each of the photo entries and gave hints on how they could have been improved.

June 2023 Meeting
Our June 19th meeting featuring Connie Rosenthal, the Straw Bale Ambassador, was most informative and a lot of fun! Connie’s sense of humor was refreshing as she explained why she strongly endorses straw bale gardening. Our speaker encouraged members to check out books by Joel Karsten for more information on the process. Connie is an amateur gardener living in Jasper, Georgia and has been implementing the techniques of Straw Bale Gardening by Joel Karste. She has been overrun with vegetables and is expanding her garden haul to local restaurants and Farmers’ Markets. Related Images:
