MONROE - Thirty-nine Green County area residents were recently recognized for earning their Master Gardener Certification at the recent annual meeting of the Green County Master Gardeners Association.
New members earning their University of Wisconsin-Extension Master Gardener Certification for the first time included: Kay Collins-Argue, Lloyd Lueschow, Jim Meuth, Cindy Palombi, Kim Peterson, Cindy Peterson, Wendy Trost and Tami Isley.
Two Master Gardener Volunteers were honored for achieving 150 hours of service; Ann Marie Ott and Kristi Leonard. Michael Colney was recognized for achieving 500 hours of volunteer service and Kris Winkler was honored for achieving 1,000 hours of community service.
The main functions of the group are to serve the needs of all horticulturists in the Green County area, provide continuing education for its members, provide community services through volunteer activities, exchange gardening ideas, promote responsible and sound gardening practices and to provide a link between the community and UW-Extension.

Master Gardener Volunteers also assist the UW-Extension Office in responding to horticulture questions and offered information through a column published in local newspapers.
