 MASTER
GARDENERS IN KEWAUNEE COUNTY
Mission: To encourage,
support and promote horticulture to the residents of Kewaunee
County through quality educational programs.
Master Gardeners are
individuals who have an interest in horticulture, have taken Master
Gardener training offered by UW-Extension and share their time
and expertise with others. It is the acquisition of knowledge,
the skill in gardening, and giving back to the community that
distinguishes UW-Extension Master Gardeners from other gardeners.
The purpose of the Wisconsin
Master Gardener Program is to provide unbiased, research-based
horticultural information to the citizens of Wisconsin through
Master Gardener volunteers.
Master Gardeners receive training in horticulture through the
University of Wisconsin Extension. In return for their training,
Master Gardeners volunteer in extension horticulture programs
and service projects which enhance the community.
Master Gardeners provide
many services to the UW-Extension Service and their communities.
They use their knowledge, talents, and skills on various projects
and activities, such as: answering horticultural questions and
phone calls in the county extension office, sponsoring clinics
and educational programs, developing educational displays,
and giving horticultural presentations. Master Gardeners also
assist with youth gardening programs, plant demonstrations and
city beautification gardens,
