What We Do

The Porter County Master Gardeners Association (PCMGA) is a 501(C)3 not-for-profit corporation.  We promote the art, science, education and pleasure of gardening in cooperation with, and under the auspices of, Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in Porter County, IN.  To visit the Extension website, click:  http://www.ces.purdue.edu/porter/

Each year we sponsor a Gardening Show in January and a Garden Walk during the summer.  Proceeds from these events are used for horticulture scholarships as well as community gardening grants and awards.  Since 2007, the PCMGA  has made philanthropic gifts of more than $5,000 to Porter County organizations.
