Master Gardener

Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who aid University of Wisconsin Extension staff by helping people in the community better understand horticulture and their environment. This site can help you learn about becoming a Master Gardener in Wisconsin, find information about horticultural topics, and connect to the statewide network of Master Gardener Programs. Learn more about the Master Gardener Program offered through Shawano County UW-Extension office and the Wisconsin Master Gardner Program .

GARDEN LINE

Are you wondering where is the best location to put your garden or flower beds? Do you wonder which vegetables should be planted next to each other? For any questions about fertilization, flower or vegetable gardens, your berry patches or even those insects you can’t identify, call the UW-Extension Master Program GARDEN LINE. There will be Master Gardener volunteers who can assist you with all of your horticulture questions. You can stop by our office, send an e-mail or call the UW-EX office at 715-526-6136.
