While in-person programming is not possible, we are offering short videos on Horticulture topics.   There will be topics using the the Spooner Agricultural Research Station as a backdrop and other short videos on garden subjects.

Our Kids in the Garden summer series for kids will have a different look this summer. We plan to release educational gardening videos for kids (and adults too!) regularly throughout the summer of 2020. Follow along and please DO try these at home!
​
You can access the listing of videos on our Video page or go to the main menu and hover over "Blog" to find the video page.  Access to this page can be found on our home page.

​May 16 Plant Sale Cancelled

5/4/2020

0 Comments

 
There have been some inquiries about the annual North Country Master Gardener Volunteers’ Plant Sale that is traditionally held on the third Saturday of May.  It is cancelled this year since all Wisconsin Master Gardener Volunteer programs have been suspended since mid-March.  The Stay at Home orders have not allowed Volunteers to start the seeds or care for the heirloom tomatoes, peppers, and assorted herbs that are traditionally part of the plant sale.
