In 2026, the Lake County Master Gardeners Association awarded more than $14,000 in grants and scholarships, supporting community garden projects, horticultural education, and the next generation of Master Gardeners. These programs are made possible through the generosity of our members, donors, and fundraising efforts.

Supporting gardens that provide fresh food, beautify spaces, and bring people together.

Funding learning opportunities for youth, adults, and future horticulture professionals.

Creating inclusive programs that strengthen and connect our communities.
Our Community Grant Program supports local organizations, schools, and community groups working on garden-related projects throughout Lake County.
From school gardens and food pantries to educational programs and public landscapes, these grants help expand access to gardening, beautify our communities, and provide meaningful learning experiences.
LCMGA supports horticultural education through two scholarship programs:
• Purdue University Horticulture Scholarship — awarded annually to undergraduate students pursuing degrees in horticulture and related fields.
• Lake County Master Gardener Course Scholarships — helping Lake County residents participate in Purdue Extension’s Master Gardener training program.

We’re proud to invest in projects that make a real difference right here in Lake County.
Our programs are made possible through the support of our members and community fundraising efforts.
In 2026, LCMGA continues to fund projects across Lake County that expand access to fresh food, support education, and strengthen our communities.
One example is the Community Help Network in Crown Point, where grant funding supports a community garden that provides fresh produce for local families through their Summer Food Program.
“Your support is helping us sustain critical programs that serve food-insecure children and families in our community… Your generosity helps us meet growing needs of those we serve.”
