Kathy Daniels, Co President “Our Purpose is to Provide Horticultural Education, Community Service & Environmental Stewardship for our Community in Affiliation with the University of Wisconsin Extension Program” The Winnebago County Master Gardeners formed initially because there was a need after training to continue to learn and communicate throughout the year. When fall training would end, the Master Gardener Advanced Training was traditionally held in Fond du Lac under the supervision of Jim Hovland, CRD Agent Fond du Lac County. An organized association was developed in the fall of 1990 by Garry Blomberg, CRD Agent Winnebago County and Joan Hoffman, Master Gardener. It included members from Winnebago County. Officers and committee heads were chosen soon thereafter. By-laws were written and a newsletter was printed and distributed the Spring of 1991. Former UWEX Horticulture Assistant, Rosemary Eiden was hired, to become the Master Gardener advisor in the fall of 1992. She also served as a Director on the Wisconsin State Association Board for 2 terms. The current Master Gardener advisor is Nick Schneider, Commercial Horticulture Educator for the UWEX, Winnebago County. Meetings of the Winnebago County Master Gardeners are held the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the UWEX Winnebago County. 2007 Accomplishment Report of the Winnebago County Master Gardener Volunteer Association How to Become a Master GardenerContacts:
