Racine-Kenosha Master Gardener Association (RKMGA)
The Master Gardener Volunteers in Kenosha and Racine Counties are a group of dedicated, trained volunteers who provide thousands of hours of volunteer service to the community every year. Master Gardener Volunteers must attend designated training sessions, volunteer 24 hours of service to an approved project in our community, and pass an open-book final exam. To remain certified each year they need to take 10 hours of additional training and volunteer 24 hours of time.
The RKMGA meets on the 4th Monday evening of each month, alternating between sites in Kenosha and Racine.
