ABOUT DMGA

The DeKalb Master Gardener Association is just that — an  association of about 40 Master Gardeners and friends who live in DeKalb County, Georgia.  We formed the organization to foster education, service, and social events for interested Master Gardeners.  We are not the DeKalb County Cooperative Extension Service and we do not receive public funds.  For information about the DeKalb County Cooperative Extension Service, please visit website  www.dekalbextension.com

The DeKalb Master Gardener Association funds and maintains two community service project gardens in DeKalb County.

ImageThe Brookhaven Plant-A-Row for the Hungry Garden is on the grounds of the DeKalb Service Center at 2660 Osborne Rd., NE, Atlanta.  The location is at the corner of Peachtree Road and Osborne Road.  [For a map, SCROLL DOWN.]  

In 2007, we donated our produce to the Methodist Children's Home in Decatur.   The 2008, 2009, and 2010 vegetable harvests have been donated to The Sullivan Center in Atlanta, whose food pantry and inner city food distribution programs are part of their "a hand up, not a hand out" community service program.

 

 

ImageThe Freedom Park Bird and Butterfly Garden is a joint project with the Atlanta Audubon Society and the Freedom Park Conservancy.  A strip of park land that was once home sites and driveways has been transformed into a Georgia native plant habitat for birds and butterflies.

Adjacent to Mary Lin Elementary School, the habitat serves as a teaching garden for local students.  The garden is located along a popular walking path on the edge of Freedom Park near North Avenue and Candler Park Drive in Atlanta.  [For a map, SCROLL DOWN.]
