Master
Gardening is for everyone in Wisconsin
Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who aid University of Wisconsin Extension
staff by helping people in the community better understand horticulture and
their environment. This site can help you learn about becoming a Master Gardener
in Wisconsin, find information about horticultural topics, and connect to the
statewide network of Master Gardener associations. Learn
more about the Calumet County Master Gardening program.
MISSION
With an office in each Wisconsin county, Cooperative Extension
develops practical educational programs tailored to local needs
and based on university knowledge and research.
County-based Extension educators are University of Wisconsin
faculty and staff who are experts in agriculture and agribusiness,
community and economic development, natural resources, family
living and youth development.
Extension county-based faculty and staff live and work with the
people they serve in communities across the state. Extension specialists
work on UW System campuses where they access current research
and knowledge. Collaboration between county and campus faculty
is the hallmark of Cooperative Extension in Wisconsin. |
