About this Event

Madison Area Master Gardeners Association Members:

You are cordially invited to the 2025 MAMGA Membership meeting. Here you will enjoy a delicious breakfast, partake in engaging conversation, discover fun facts about gardening, learn about some of our Community Grants as well as Master Gardener colleagues. Our Keynote speaker is Professor Jack Williams from the Climatology Department at the University of Wisconsin. He will be educating us on "Plant Responses to Climate Change: Lessons from the Past". Jack Williams is a professor in the Department of Geography and the Center for Climatic Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He studies vegetation responses to changing climates, using the end of the last ice age as a model system. Research themes include novel climates and ecosystems, abrupt changes in ecosystems, and the causes and consequences of past extinctions. Awards include Fellow of the Ecological Society of America and Kellett and Romnes Fellowships at UW-Madison.
