Attendees of the 2024 Annual Conference were exposed to amazing speakers, days of education, and a few unexpected gifts.

One of the highlights of the annual GMGA conference is finding out who was selected for the Award of Excellence! This special selection is made by GMGA and accompanied by a beautiful plaque and cash prize to a very deserving individual who coordinates a county MGEV program.

Once again, GMGA is offering the Award of Excellence in Consumer Horticulture. Applications will be accepted through September 1, 2024.

On Saturday morning, attendees arriving at the First Baptist Church Gainesville were given handsome black swag bags imprinted with the Conference logo and filled with goodies. They found vendor displays brilliant with plants, flowers, bulbs, birdhouses, stationery, and many other goods to delight a gardener’s heart.

The 2023 GMGA conference was a great success with the theme of Cultivating Our Gardens – Beauty, Wildlife & Edibles, in Gainesville, Hall County, on October 13 and 14.
