MasterGardener
Mission & Board
MasterGardener magazine and MasterGardenerOnline.com are produced in cooperation with the Washington State University
Master Gardener Program. Our mission is to provide science-based information on all aspects of home,
community, and environmental landscape planning, with an emphasis on understanding the best sustainable horticultural practices.
MasterGardener is published quarterly by GFG Publishing, a division of the Washington State Fruit Commission. The commission is a public, nonprofit state agency. It also publishes Good Fruit Grower magazine for commercial tree fruit and grape growers.
