Master Gardener Volunteer Program
The Master Gardener Volunteer 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. Master Gardener Volunteers are trained volunteers who aid University of Wisconsin-Extension staff by helping people in the community better understand horticulture and their environment.

In January of 2010 the first Master Gardener Volunteer Training session was held in the county. Class participants were very enthused about the program and decided to form the Dunn County Master Gardener Association (DCMGA). Dunn County MGA volunteers are involved with several projects, including the Dunn County Jail Garden project and Wilson Park landscaping restoration. Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at the Dunn County Government Center, Room 58, 800 Wilson Ave, Menomonie, WI. The annual meeting is planned for September. If you are interested in horticulture and volunteering in the community, please contact the Dunn County UW-Extension office for more information or click on the links below for the Dunn County Master Gardener Association brochure.
