Welcome to Master Gardeners Asssociation of Northwest Michigan 2nd Annual Meet and Greet

Speakers from the Grand Traverse Area Children’s Garden and on behalf of iNaturalist are scheduled to speak at the MGANM meeting on June 18 between 6 and 8 p.m.  They are Sarah Kuschell from GTA Children's Garden and Miranda Farley who will speak on iNaturalist.

The Meet and Greet will take place at the Grand Traverse Conservation District, 1450 Cass Road in Traverse City.  This meeting gives interested gardeners a chance to hear expert speakers and learn more about how MGANM, a chapter of the statewide master gardener organization, works.

“All attendees will have a chance to share information on many topics,” says MGANM President Marcella Massa. “Some topics might include gardening books you are reading, current gardening trends, invasive species and how you have dealt with them, how you have incorporated native plants into your landscaping, and growing and using herbs.”
