Who We Are
Our members live on southern Vancouver Island, including Greater Victoria, the Gulf Islands and up the Malahat to beyond Mill Bay.
The Victoria Master Gardener Association (VMGA) strives to provide our members with the most up-to-date information on reliable and environmentally sustainable horticultural practices for our region. We try to share this knowledge, as well as our experience and love of gardening, with the public through a variety of community service activities.
Our Vision and Mission.
