Master Gardener Plant Sale is Cancelled

​COVID-19 has claimed the North Country Master Gardener Volunteer Association’s annual Plant Sale. 
 
The 2020-2021 calendar years have created challenges for our organization.  The North Country Master Gardener Association will not be hosting the Annual 2021 Plant Sale this May highlighting heirloom tomatoes, a variety of peppers, and native plants.  However, there will be opportunities to participate in several outdoor and online horticultural programs throughout the gardening season to help support the local gardening community.
 
We want to thank all our supporters for their understanding during these challenging times.
Our Meet Me in the Garden series will be conducted outdoors at the Spooner Agriculture Research Station’s Teaching and Display Gardens in soon-to-be announced dates.  These programs have something to offer both beginner and experienced gardeners.
 
More information is available about volunteering with the University of Wisconsin Master Gardener Volunteer program at  https://mastergardener.extension.wisc.edu/  The program’s purpose is to help provide information about gardening and natural resources to the public.  Information on local programs and contact information are available at  www.northcountryMGV.org  
 
Keep safe, stay healthy and remember to buy Wisconsin horticultural products in support of our Wisconsin gardeners.


Roseann Meixelsperger, President
North Country Master Gardener Volunteers

Master Gardener Volunteer Week

4/5/2021

The Wisconsin Master Gardener Program is celebrating Master Gardener Volunteer Week April 5-9, 2021.  Master Gardener Volunteers are an important part of University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension in helping fulfill its mission of researched-based horticulture outreach and education.  Trained and certified volunteers help to improve the lives of residents and communities across the state.  Through hours of community service volunteers assist Extension by answering diagnostic questions, educating the public on horticultural topics, growing and donating food to local pantries, beautifying community spaces, conducting workshops, and more, these volunteers work tirelessly to make Wisconsin an incredible place to live.
​
Locally Master Gardener Volunteers contribute hundreds of volunteer hours each year in communities across Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn Counties. According the Kevin Schoessow, Extension Agriculture Development Educator, for Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn Counties, “These efforts would not be possible without dedicated volunteers and the support of county Extension offices.  Master Gardener Volunteers are the true example of selfless giving and deserve our THANKS”  To learn more about how MGV are making a difference in Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn Counties visit the North Country Master Gardener website at https://www.northcountrymgv.org/   Find out more information about the Master Gardener Program at https://mastergardener.extension.wisc.edu/
