2024 Grant Project Reports

As the alumni association for certified Connecticut Master Gardeners, we provide opportunities to share our knowledge and love of gardening with others. Through sponsorship of grants and leadership of volunteer projects throughout the state, CMGA members are helping to educate and beautify our communities.
