Division and Branch Information



The WNF&GA is organized into four main Divisions: Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Beyond these main Divisions, we have additional Branches and also members at large.

In addition to branches which incorporate a full range of programs and projects, two new types of branches have been formed in recent years: herb groups which focus on herb gardening, cooking, crafts and projects; and our floral design groups which provide flower arranging, flower shows and judges' schools.

Michigan Division

The many Branches that comprise the Michigan Division of WNF&GA are an energetic group of women and men who enjoy gardening, giving back to their communities, and learning more about the activity they love: gardening!

Michigan Division has a strong history of altruistic giving. Our Branches have a long legacy of gifting to the Michigan 4-H Foundation as well as thousands of dollars given toward educational scholarships, local community beautification, nature preserves and horticultural therapy activities.

The current Division Project is raising funds to establish a 4-H Endowment Fund to insure that our funding of this worthwhile organization continues in the future. To donate to the Michigan Division Foundation or the Michigan Division 4-H Endowment Fund, contact: Michigan Division Foundation Treasurer

Through association with the National organization of WNF&GA and our affiliated organizations, CWC (Country Women’s Council USA) and ACWW (Associated Country Women of the World), members gain information about the state of women all over the world. We also have the opportunity for foreign travel.

Each Branch fosters education for the members through speakers provided at monthly meetings, workshops and hands on gardening experience. The Division also provides education, workshops and interesting speakers at Division Council meetings, as well as providing held 2-3 times each year.

Our nature based horticultural projects reach out to schools, senior facilities and the Double-H Ranch here in Upstate, New York. The Ranch has a summer and winter camp experience for special needs and ill children.

We fund scholarships for college students studying forestry, agriculture, animal husbandry, horticulture and environmental concerns.

Our award winning community beautification projects are started and maintained by our talented members each summer season.

We are presently assisting a school in Metairie, Louisiana with a gardening and nutrition project called Debby's Garden. Four New York members have been chosen to represent our organization and our nation in an exchange program in foreign countries.

We have also been known to just have good wholesome fun at our flower shows, picnics, trips and outings.
