The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is happy to welcome the Bonner County Gardeners Association (BCGA) to the community. Formerly known as the Bonner County Master Gardeners, the BCGA is a non-profit organization, specializing in providing home horticulture education to the citizens of Bonner County. Education is available through many outlets. The members have a natural love for gardening and want to assist others with their gardening questions in northern Idaho.
The BCGA’s programs include a home horticulture workshop series, informational booths at various events, gardening presentations as requested by community groups, the Garden Tour, school gardens, internal education and beautification projects. Currently, the BCGA has taken on a major beautification project at the Bonner County Fairgrounds. The Fairgrounds is a multi-use venue with many visitors throughout the year. This is a large project demanding a high level of resources.
The BCGA look for members who desire not only to further their own knowledge of home horticulture, but also to share that knowledge with others. Their goals are to promote continuing education and a spirit of good fellowship among our members and the community. If you are interested in contributing to this effort please contact the association for more information.
The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce wishes the Bonner County Gardeners Association success and we are very glad they are a part of our community. The BCGA’s new home is at 804 Airport Way, Sandpoint, ID. Anyone who is interested in assisting in any of these projects and programs, or want to become a member of the association is encouraged to contact BCGA President Zoe Bolton at 265-2070 or at bcgardeners@gmail.com. To be placed on the distribution list and notified of upcoming educational events available to the public call the office or email the office.
