About our Association

Our goal is to help the people in our communities to become better gardeners so they are able to grow their own produce and landscape their living spaces successfully. Our meetings alternate between morning and evening times and are held on held on Tuesdays.  We hold a minimum of four (4) meetings annually. If you are interested in becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer, please contact Kathy Schneider, UW-Extension FDL, at (920) 929-3171.

Activities and Projects

We sponsor many different activities and projects that provide opportunities to become involved with our organization, as well as experiences of learning and working with people who have the same interests.  We have a lot of fun making friends while getting involved with projects because we all have the same passion for gardening and plants. Some of these projects include:

• Yearly garden seminar. A day-long symposium on various topics is held each spring for the general public.

• Annual plant sale. This is our primary fundraiser, offering donated plants from MG's (or other individuals) gardens that have been divided and potted.

• UW Fond du Lac Campus Gardens. We design, prepare and maintain several flower beds on campus for the or enjoyment of UW FDL faculty/students, visitors and UW-Extension staff. These beds allow MGs to experiment with new plant varieties or implement ideas taught in MG classes.

• Gardens in the community. MGs plant and maintain flower beds, landscape plantings, and other projects at area churches, medical facilities, government buildings, and other institutions.

• Horticulture Line. MG’s are available 2hrs a day, two days/week throughout the summer in the UW-Extension office to answer telephoned gardening questions.
