3MGACRA is a nonprofit (501c3) organization of Master Gardeners that supports the Virginia Cooperative Extension in a wide variety of activities including education programs, support of the Virginia Master Gardener Association, scholarships, community projects, and social activities. MGACRA members who have paid their 2023 dues will pay a discount rate for the 2023 Spring Symposium.
