BCMGA Membership Meetings

Membership meetings are open to members of BCMGA, Master Gardeners, and trainees, as well as the public. These meetings are great opportunities to get acquainted with the Benton County Master Gardener community and learn something new at the same time. Meetings occur in January, February, March, April, May, and October. Each meeting includes a presentation that counts toward continuing education recertification hours. 

 

Meetings may be attended via Zoom, but we encourage you to attend in person and enjoy social time before and after the meeting. Coffee and tea are provided, and you are welcome to bring a treat to share. We have a raffle for those who attend in person. You receive 1 raffle ticket for attending, 2 tickets for wearing your badge, and 3 tickets if you wear your badge and bring a treat.

 

Meetings are in the Sunset Room in the Sunset Building at 4077 SW Research Way, Corvallis, OR 97333. Doors open at 6:30pm and the program starts at 7:00pm. Use the entrance on the east side of the building because all other doors to the building are locked at night.

​

Can't attend the meeting? Find recordings of the speaker presentations at the BCMGA YouTube channel. Recordings are generally posted within one week of the meeting date.

​

Garden Tours take the place of in person meetings during June, July, and August.

 BCMGA Membership Meeting on Monday, October 19, 2026
By Christine Welsch, Co-Vice President BCMGA

September is winding down! We hope you enjoyed the BCMGA membership annual picnic on September 18, 2026.
 

The next BCMGA Membership Meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 19, 2026. Instead of an outside guest speaker, in October we are going to hear from some of our own home-grown garden
"experts"! We will have presentations on the happenings of various BCMGA committees - including the school gardens and CGET (Community Garden Education Team).

 

October is also election month for BCMGA membership. President-Elect John Bertani will be
introducing the BCMGA board nominations and presenting these names for election to the
BCMGA board.
 

Otillia will also be on hand to assist those that require help with the VRS system. Get your hours
entered by the end of October!
 

As always we will have door prizes and fabulous refreshments! Please plan to join us for the last
BCMGA meeting of the year!​
