Gardening Questions

We all have a question about gardening and it’s always great to have expert help. The Master Gardeners are here to help you tackle some of those questions and provide you with researched-based answers. Ask Your Gardening Question is the first step to understanding your plant’s condition.

Who is eligible to be a Master Gardener Volunteer?

Any resident of Wisconsin 18 years or older. Potential Master Gardener Volunteers should be interested in horticulture (but a formal degree is not necessary), dependable, unbiased, open-minded, and willing to help people with their horticultural concerns. You DON’T need to know everything about gardening — you’ll learn more and more as you participate in the program. You DO need to have an interest in learning and giving back to your community.

How do I get started?

Master Gardeners are motivated individuals using gardening to make a difference in their communities. The Master Gardener Program provides plant-related continuing education opportunities to grow their gardening know-how. Local organizations benefit from the garden-related volunteer activities and education provided by Master Gardeners. Together, we can improve lives and communities through gardening.
