Now is the time to nominate fellow Master Gardeners and special community members for the <strong><em>Making a Difference</em></strong> and <strong><em>Friend of a Master Gardener</em></strong> award.</p>
<p>The<strong><em> Making a Difference Award</em> </strong>honors Champaign County Master Gardeners who, through their initiative, commitment, and quiet, unselfish service, enrich the CCMG program. Any active Master Gardener may nominate someone for this award. Multiple awards may be given annually. Usually presented at the February Master Gardner Program. </p>
