Billie Oliver, Lee County Master Gardener, 
​Honored by the City of Opelika
Billie Oliver, Lee County Master Gardener, was honored for developing the Caroline Dean Wildflower Trail in Opelika, AL on August 3, 2022.

​Recognized by Mayor Gary Fuller, the City of Opelika placed a plaque at the entrance to the garden for which  she was the main architect and advocate since 2010. Her love & knowledge of native plants was recognized by Dennis Pinkard, then LCMGA President, when he asked her to take on the project. Her enthusiasm has never waned, and our community now has a maturing beautiful natural garden to help us remember Caroline Dean, also a local award winning advocate of native flora and wildflowers. 
​
In appreciation, she stated "I'm honored to receive this [recognition] because to me it symbolizes the support that I've had not just from Master Gardeners, but also from other organizations. Really, it's not just me. It's that  teamwork of all the people who've helped make the garden a better place to be. I feel like there should be a lot of other people standing up here with me."

 We are a 501(c)3 organization.

 About us
The Master Gardeners Program educates volunteers in science-based gardening and landscape practices and helps them effectively extend research-based information to the public as Master Gardeners. The Master Gardener's primary role is that of “educator.”

There are many different ways our volunteers in Lee County help the Alabama Extension System (ACES) expand outreach to the community. Our "Help Line" is available to answer your garden and landscape questions spring-through-fall. We ​
offer a variety of garden-related programs and workshops for the public, construct and maintain community demonstration gardens and help implement community projects.  

In addition, every other year we conduct a mid-May garden tour to showcase successful local gardens and offer ideas and inspiration. The tour is also our fundraiser, supporting our projects and programs. 

​ THE  
2021 GARDEN TOUR​
"Spring Stroll"
Was A GREAT SUCCESS - Thank you for your support!

LCMGA is grateful for our:
GARDEN OWNERS
GARDEN TOUR SPONSORS
TOUR GOERS
VOLUNTEERS

Response was tremendous with early on-line Tour Tickets/Chicken Salad Chick Box Lunches SOLD OUT! 
​We thank you for your trust and generosity while we established a new sales protocol during COVID.
We were also happy to see so many tour goers buying tickets at the gardens during the tour.
​All proceeds support the Lee County Master Gardeners Association's many community programs.
Grant Applications are being taken now!
