North Bay Master Gardeners 

The North Bay Master Gardeners started in 1989. Presently we are a small group comprised of fourteen members.  This includes three new MGiT and we are looking forward recruiting new members this year.  We are actively involved with local horticultural societies as quest speakers, responding to questions and answers, and providing demonstrations.  We also participate in their flower sales and shows, providing help with identification of plants, insects and disease problems.  We also act as consultants with the Heritage Gardeners. This summer we are planning to hold an education session at a member’s garden. 
In the past we have acted as judges for Communities in Bloom and to do so in the future. We have written newspaper articles, participated in radio shows and have also compiled a list of perennials suitable for zone four gardening.  We are presently compiling a list of green alternatives to chemicals.  The Independent grocery store pays for our hotline. In return we give advice during their spring flower sales. 
We are conducting PowerPoint presentations on different subjects and will catalogue all titles for future use. Our monthly meeting room is provided by the North Bay Public Library, where we include a small educational session.
