Volunteer Opportunities

Master Gardener Volunteers 

Each year University of Wisconsin Master Gardener Volunteers (MGV) contribute hundreds of hours to their communities in horticulture education, beautification and support services.  To retain our certification each master gardener volunteer is required to volunteer a minimum or 24 hours per year to their communities.

This page lists some of the opportunities for volunteering on an ongoing basis. Master Gardener volunteers also identify areas of need in their own communities.
