Net proceeds from our annual Garden Faire:

• Help us provide funding for scholarships to horticultural and environmental stewardship students beyond high school-we believe in growing and nurturing the next generation of gardeners
• Support North Fulton Master Gardeners’ on-going efforts to provide valuable gardening knowledge to our community through online and in-person education classes
• Ensure our teaching and demonstration public garden spaces continue to be supported by volunteers. See our ongoing public projects at www.nfmg.net
• Allow our Master Gardener Volunteers to learn more through continuing education so that we can then share that knowledge for the benefit of the community
