The Green County Master Gardeners will be holding their monthly meeting on Thursday, February 25, 2016, at 7:00 p.m., at the Green County Justice Center, Multi-Purpose Rooms. Meetings usually include speakers or tours for learning and are open to the public to attend.

This month’s meeting will feature Sandy Spotts and Amy Lewis, speaking on “Greenhouse Growing & Preparation.” Sandy and Amy will talk about the history of their greenhouse operations at The Potting Shed and provide a yearly schedule for being a greenhouse grower and producer. They will also discuss upcoming class opportunities for gardening enthusiasts and provide an encouraging optimism for spring planting.

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