By Chris Rusch, Oregon Master Gardener Association President

Let’s celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Master Gardener Program together at the Joy of gardening Conference!

The OMGA 2026 Joy of Gardening Conference registration is now open!

Treat yourself this summer to a 2-day educational event at this year’s Oregon Master Gardener Association Joy of Gardening Conference, July 10-11 at the OSU Alumni Center in Corvallis.

We have two fantastic keynotes: Friday, Dr. Leslie Madsen and Saturday Andrew Millison.

The Joy of Gardening Conference has something for everyone.  Over 30 instructors are scheduled to speak on a variety of topics ranging from planting in a changing climate and becoming certified bee steward to the latest in home garden science and growing a cut flower garden. There is something for everyone.

For Fun there will be a Garden Trivia Live with prizes! Join in the fun and test your garden knowledge.

Master Gardeners can earn recertification credits for all classes.
