Your Support is Crucial

The Michigan Master Gardener Association is a non-profit corporation with an all-volunteer board who invite you to become involved as a volunteer and a member.  Membership is open to every MSU Extension master gardener volunteer in good standing, which includes re-certified master gardeners and volunteers in training.  The cost is just $5.00.  It’s significantly less than the cost of a movie or lunch out, yet that $5.00 individual membership fee helps pay for that critical liability insurance coverage that none of us can afford to be without.  Your commitment to our association will help keep this insurance affordable for everyone.
