MONROE - The Green County Master Gardeners will tour Fitchburg Farms at 7 p.m. May 25.

The tour will be "behind the scene of a retail production greenhouse," according to a news release.

Fitchburg Farms, located at 1839 County MM, Fitchburg, was established in 2013 and is a full-service retail garden center committed to providing world-class customer service and second-to-none product quality. It provides a variety of new and old annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, planters and house plants to the public and for local landscapes. The tour will offer a behind-the-scene look at what it takes to grow the plants being offered.

The Green County Wisconsin Master Gardeners Association was formed in Green County in 2004 to provide Master Gardeners with opportunities for professional development and community service. Master Gardener volunteers help provide beauty and growth in communities for flower, plant and vegetative areas.

Led by Marilyn Sandin-Ross, GCMGA president, the association meets on the fourth Thursday of the month from February through October. Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcome to join the association and one does not have to be a Master Gardener to be a member or to attend. For more information on the UW-Extension Master Gardener program contact Mark Mayer, agriculture agent, at 608-328-9440.
