If you have any questions regarding Horticulture in Wood County, please contact:

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Teri Gear and I am the Horticulture Assistant at the Wood County Extension office.
I grew up in the Plainfield area and earned a bachelors degree in Horticulture at the University - Wisconsin River Falls. 

I have worked within the industry for the past seventeen years and am looking forward to applying my knowledge at the extension level.  I will be available to answer insect, weed and plant disease questions and to help with woody ornamentals, perennials, annuals, vegetables, and lawn questions.  Community Gardens and Master Gardener projects are other areas I will work with.  Thank you for this opportunity.
