FMGA is a non-profit gardening group that includes master gardeners and others interested in gardening.  Members do not have to be certified Master Gardeners but many are.  The group meets monthly August – May for horticultural emphasis presentations and hosts an annual plant sale.  Proceeds from this event support Fayette non-profit community horticultural projects and a college scholarship for Fayette residents majoring in horticulture or agriculture.
