A Brief History of the Master Gardener Program.

To facilitate communication between Master Gardeners, the Manitoba Master Gardener Association was formally organized in 2011. It is a ‘supporting and networking body’ for Certified Master Gardeners as well as Master Gardeners-in-Training in the Province of Manitoba.

Goals and Objectives:

  • To co-operate with and support the educational activities of our institutional affiliates in order to implement and develop their Manitoba Master Gardener Program
  • To provide a communication network for Manitoba Master Gardeners to exchange ideas, information and issues
  • To support the ongoing training of Manitoba Master Gardeners by providing information for educational opportunities and experiences
  • To provide and encourage the growth of horticultural communities by building connections with like-minded organizations
  • To serve as a source of horticultural information for the general public through postings on our website as well as providing connections to Manitoba Master Gardeners
  • To promote sustainable horticultural practices and environmental stewardship
