You can take your green thumb to the next level by becoming a Door County Master Gardener volunteer. With over 100 members, Door County Master Gardeners are not just a wealth of knowledge but they are also the caretakers of The Garden Door, located at the Peninsular Agricultural Station in Sturgeon Bay. In order to become a volunteer, you have to go through the UW Extension’s online Foundations in Gardening course, which covers a wide variety of topics ranging from growing and caring for plants to pest management. Door County Master Gardeners President Shawn Mathys says the course is full of great information and it can be done at your own pace.
Registration is now open until August 14th with the course itself running from September 10th to December 9th. You must then take a test and get at least 70 percent on it to become a Master Gardener. You can find more information on the course and how you can sign up for it below.
