MG Program Office

The MG Program Office provides support to all Master Gardeners, local associations, the WI MG Association, and educators involved with MG training. This is a centralized source of information about the program throughout the state. The MG Program Coordinator (Susan Mahr) and Educational Director (Bob Tomesh) work together in the MG Program Office to provide both leadership for the program and services to individuals and organizations.
