ELIGIBILITY

Those who have successfully completed training as Master Gardeners in Wisconsin or another state are eligible to become members of the Madison Area Master Gardeners Association (MAMGA). If you are interested in becoming a Master Gardener, please visit the UW Extension Master Gardener Program website for details. Retaining certification as a Master Gardener is recommended, but is NOT required for MAMGA membership.

If you are a Master Gardener who has relocated to Wisconsin from another state, or if you are rejoining the program after a period of inactivity, contact wimastergardener@extension.wisc.edu to learn your specific program requirements.


MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION AND DUES

MAMGA membership dues are $25 for one calendar year. The membership drive runs October through December. Returning member renewals are due December 31st. Renewing early is appreciated! You may renew or apply for membership online with a credit card. If you prefer to mail a check, print out our mail-in form and follow the instructions.

New members may join MAMGA at any time during the year, if they are transferring from another organization or as soon as they become certified as Master Gardeners in Wisconsin. Because we are unable to prorate our membership fees, if you are interested in joining between July and October please contact membership@mamgawi.org.
