AMGA 2024 CONFERENCE
BALDWIN CO MGA
Welcome to the 2024 Alabama Master Gardeners Association State Conference, hosted by the Baldwin County Master Gardeners. We are thrilled to invite you to join us for our annual gathering of gardeners, educators, and enthusiasts from across the state. This year’s conference theme is “Paradise Found,” We can’t wait to explore the many ways we can cultivate our own little corners of paradise.
The conference will be held from April 22 to April 24, 2024, at the Daphne Civic Center in beautiful Daphne, Alabama. Over three days, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of workshops, lectures, and networking events, all focused on gardening, sustainability, and environmental stewardship.
We believe that gardening is more than just a hobby – it’s a way of life. By bringing together the brightest minds in gardening and horticulture, we hope to inspire and empower our attendees to create their own little pieces of paradise- a community garden, a backyard oasis, or a thriving urban farm.
So join us in Daphne, Alabama, as we explore the many ways we can cultivate paradise in our lives and communities. We can’t wait to see you there!
