In the spring of 1997, Clark County UW-Extension coordinated the first ever Master Gardener training sessions in Clark County. Since that time, classes to become a Master Gardener have been offered once a year, along with opportunities for advanced training. The Master Gardeners have also organized a local association which is open to the general public. They call themselves the Over the Garden Gate Gardening Club, and they meet the fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the UW-Extension office in the Clark County Courthouse.To help serve the people of Clark County, the Master Gardeners host a plant swap at the Clark County fairgrounds the Saturday before Mother’s Day and have an educational booth at the Clark County Fair in August. They maintain a garden plot at the fairgrounds, and help maintain gardens at the Neillsville Library and the High Ground / Veterans Memorial Park. They also teach classes and/or volunteer to help with various UW-Extension programs and projects.
If you wish to join the gardening club and/or become a Master Gardener Volunteer, please call the UW-Extension office in Neillsville.
