About Us

The Porter County Master Gardeners Association (PCMGA) is a
not-for-profit corporation promoting the art, science, education
and pleasure of gardening in cooperation with, and under the
auspices of, Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in
Porter County, Indiana.  

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.  From 2005 - 2010, the PCMGA
made gifts of approximately $18,000 to Porter County
organizations.  For 2011, PCMGA expects to give up to  $5,000 in
gifts, grants and scholarships.

Because we are a 501(C)3 charitable corporation, contributions
to PCMGA may be tax deductible.  Please consult your tax
advisor when making a gift to PCMGA.
