In addition, on behalf of the Board of the Marion County Master Gardener Association, we see and acknowledge the tremendous pain and suffering happening right now in our country. It is heartbreaking. We want to be clear that we welcome all people to this association because we are all an integral part of our natural world. We welcome everyone and do not discriminate against anyone because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, disabilities, age or national origin. We know we cannot solve racial inequality and injustice here. We value the dignity of every person and we strive to foster tolerance, sensitivity, understanding, and mutual respect among our members.
