MONROE - The Green County Master Gardeners will hold their monthly meeting at 7 p.m. March 24 in the Green County Justice Center multi-purpose rooms. Meetings usually include speakers or tours and are open to the public.
Mary Nelson, one of the Green County Master Gardeners, will present "Our Changing Weather and Climate in the Great Lakes Region." Nelson will discuss the societal impacts of these changes and what actions can be taken to slow the rate of future climate change. She previously was involved with the MATC clinical technician program and now devotes a great deal of her time to gardening and making improvements.
The Green County Wisconsin Master Gardeners Association was formed in 2004 to provide Master Gardeners with opportunities for professional development and community service. This past year, members of the association volunteered 185 hours of community education and 1,856 hours in community service projects in Green County. Master Gardener volunteers also respond to horticulture questions and offer information through a column published in local newspapers.
The Green County Master Gardeners Association meets on the fourth Thursday of each month from February through October. Association officers for 2016 will include Mary Jackson, president; Marilyn Sandin-Ross, vice president; Kristi Leonard, secretary; and Lynn Lokken, treasurer.
Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcome to join the association; members do not have to be Master Gardeners. For more information on the Master Gardener program contact Mark Mayer, agriculture agent, at 608-328-9440.
