Connecting Missouri Master Gardeners

Who We Are

A statewide network supporting Master Gardeners

through education, advocacy and community chapters.​​

​The Missouri Master Gardeners Association, Inc. (MOMGA) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting Master Gardeners across Missouri.  

​

We empower Master Gardeners by:

  • Supporting local chapters statewide

  • Sharing educational resources and tools

  • Advocating for gardening and volunteer programs

  • Hosting workshops, conferences and events

​

While we partner with the University of Missouri Extension to ensure high-quality programs, MOMGA operates independently to serve our members and strengthen the statewide gardening community.​​
