In cooperation with the OSU Extension Service, the Central Gorge Master Gardener Association (CGMGA) provides relevant, research-based education and outreach to the public about horticulture and household pests. This information promotes sustainable practices that minimize risks to human health and the environment.

Most of our events are free and open to the public. The CGMGA is a 501c3 non-profit supported by many of volunteers, who work to educate the public about sustainable, affordable gardening.

Oregon State University Extension Service offers educational programs, activities, and materials without discrimination based on age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran’s status.
