Thank you for your interest in the 50th Master Gardener Celebration. This registration is now closed.
Golden Garden Days: Southern Celebration- Wednesday, May 7 from 10 am - 1:30 pm at the Jackie-Joyner-Kersee Center (Argonne Dr, East St Louis, IL 62204)
Master Gardeners celebrate 50 years of impact. Grow your gardening knowledge and skills as we celebrate 50 years of Master Gardener impact through hands-on workshops, tours, and expert advice!
Join Master Gardeners as we explore urban agriculture at the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Food, Agriculture, Nutrition Innovation Center — we call it JJK FAN. This East St. Louis hub instills in those who gather how food, science, and innovation — working together — create lives and livelihoods so people thrive.
Participants will select a track for hands-on experiences at different stations. You can explore local foods and how the site is helping to increase food access in the community. Or you can discover how the location is overcoming challenges to create a more sustainable landscape.
The event includes refreshments. Carpooling to the event is encouraged due to limited parking.
University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. If you need a reasonable accommodation to attend, call 618-344-4230.
