Community Partnerships
Visit us on Facebook
The OSU Extension Delaware County Master Gardener Association (DCMGA) is accepting applications from Delaware County individuals and not-for-profit organizations (schools, community groups, churches, etc.) who are planning and implementing horticultural projects and would like to partner with DCMGA.
Horticultural projects might include an educational event, such as a seminar on pruning trees, or a longer-term project, such as building a community garden, or something in between, like how to build a raised bed.
The DCMGA can provide consultation, education, and/or financial support for approved projects.
Should the DCMGA provide financial support, the funds may only be used to purchase supplies, materials, consumable products, and other necessities for the project or to pay for facility rentals and other costs related to the project. The funds may not be used directly or indirectly to benefit the individual or organization in any manner.
If you have further questions, call Kenzie Johnston at the Extension office at
