Dedicated gardeners promoting responsible gardening through education, volunteer service and fellowship.  

The Madison Area Master Gardeners Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization whose members are graduates or students of Master Gardener training through the University of Wisconsin Extension or in other states.

MAMGA was founded in 1986 as a forum for Master Gardener Volunteers (MGVs) in south-central Wisconsin to continue professional improvement and provide service to the community.  The Madison Area Master Gardeners Association is one of about 50 local Wisconsin Master Gardener Associations (MGAs) whose members are students or alumni of University of Wisconsin-Extension Master Gardener Volunteer training. Our 300+ members donate over 13,000 hours each year, in a variety of locations throughout Dane County.

MAMGA provides continuing education programs, fellowship projects and programs, volunteer opportunities, and other benefits to its members. MAMGA is separate from, but works with, the Dane County UW-Extension.  

Do you want to connect with other MAMGA members but can’t always make it to in-person meetups and events? Join our private Facebook group, MAMGA Virtual Green Thumb. It’s a friendly, communal place for MAMGA members to ask questions, share ideas, and get to know one another a little better.
