North Central Wisconsin Master Gardeners

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit The North Central Wisconsin Master Gardener Association informational page. Our Association includes the counties of Lincoln, Langlade and Marathon Counties with an active membership of 117 volunteers.

We were organized in 1998 beginning with a membership of 6 people meeting at the Marathon County Court House with Elaine Heil-Stark as our first president. In the short time we've been together we strive to be the premier source for gardening information in the community. We do this by continually learning and then volunteering our time and sharing our gardening knowledge and enjoyment with other master gardeners and residents in North Central Wisconsin.

Our involvement in the community includes: GardenWalk, a tour of 5 local gardens; Gardenville, our annual plant sale; Cedar Creek Flower and Garden Show, providing information to the public; The Festival of Trees, proceeds are donated to Hospice; Garden Clinic and Garden Line, providing the public with answers to their gardening problems; Public Programming informs the public about gardening interests and The Monk Botanical Garden (is in the planning stage), providing financial donations and future educational programs.  Visit or Horticulture site at http://marathon.uwex.edu and click on calendar for our current gardening programs.
