Go Colleen!! Rotarians at work 🩷

For Colleen in Milwaukie, being a Master Gardener became a way to partner with her community. What began as an interest in native plants grew into something bigger: working with local groups, neighbors and city leaders to help create the Milwaukie Pollinator Pathway and advocate for Milwaukie to become a Bee City USA affiliate.

“The best part of being a Master Gardener is the people I meet and the community I have come to know.

Starting the Milwaukie Pollinator Pathway and advocating for the city of Milwaukie to become a Bee City USA affiliate is something I am especially excited and proud of.

Through that work, I have connected with local gardening groups, neighborhood district associations, the Rotary Club of Milwaukie, City Council and city staff.

I became a Master Gardener in 2019, and as I explored the resources available to us, I kept coming back to the benefits of native plants.

I would not have started the Pollinator Pathway and Bee City journey without first being introduced to Master Gardeners. In that first year, we were encouraged to participate in different volunteer activities so we could learn what interested us. For me, that interest was native plants.”

— Colleen, Milwaukie

P.S. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the OSU Extension Master Gardener Program, and these stories remind us what we’re celebrating. On Wednesday, April 29, Dam Proud Day gives us one day to show up for the statewide program that supports Master Gardener volunteers across Oregon. You can give early and today! https://www.damproudday.org/campaigns/statewide-master-gardener-program-fund

And if you are a Master Gardener volunteer — or ever have been — we’d still love to hear your story at Beav.es/mgstory
