Golden Trowel Award

Golden Trowel award winners are those Master Gardeners that have been nominated by their fellow MGs or by staff for their outstanding work and service to the MG program in the previous year. Because we have so many volunteers, we do not repeat the award to the same person more often than 5 years apart.
