Mark your calendars for June 15! Every year our Master Gardeners spend months finding the most beautiful and/or interesting gardens in the Fox Cities to create a day filled with wonder, and dedicated to helping the St. Joseph's Food Program and Salvation Army. A $7 entry fee plus two items of non-perishable food are asked of each visitor to the seven gardens that will be on display this year in Menasha and Appleton. Click here for more information about the gardens that will be on display. Note: this is a 2-page document with addresses for each property.
On the first Saturday of each month (except July), join one of our Master Gardener volunteers who will present topics related to gardens and gardening. The presentation is held at the Appleton Public Library from 10 - 11:30 a.m. There is no charge.

The Master Gardener program is an all-volunteer organization sanctioned by Land Grant institutions in each state, and functions as an extension of the college or university. In Wisconsin, the program is sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Extension. The goal of the MG Program is to train enthusiastic volunteers so they can, in turn, provide research-based information on a wide variety of horticultural topics to their communities. Find out how easy it is to become a Master Gardener!
