Growing Communities.
The Master Gardener Extension Volunteer (MGEV) program in Georgia is a volunteer training program designed to help University of Georgia Cooperative Extension staff transfer research-based information about gardening and related subjects to the public by training home gardeners to be volunteer educators. Through active MGEV programs in many Georgia counties, UGA Cooperative Extension is able to reach out and serve more citizens with educational programming and demonstrations.
On August 23rd and 24th, 2019, Georgians of all ages from all over the state will join efforts to document our pollinators. Won't you join us?

Carnivorous Plants
Morrow, GA
To make up for the nutrient-poor soil in their native environment, carnivorous plants developed a taste for meat—but don't worry, they favor entrées that have between six and eight legs. The eye-catching, almost other-worldly appearance of carnivorous plants makes them look delicate and fussy, but they are actually very hardy outdoor plants. Learn how to re-create the best environment for these unusual beauties in your own yard.
