North Country Master Gardener Association

Welcome to the North Country Master Gardeners Volunteers (NCMG).   The association, comprised of members from Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn Counties, became the 31st local association admitted to the Wisconsin Master Gardener Association (WIMGA) in November 2001.

Special Events:

North Country Master Gardeners Plant Sale - Saturday May 18, 2013.
Spooner Agriculture Research Station, W6646 Hwy 70, Spooner, WI

Heirloom tomatoes were the cornerstone of our very first plant sale. Since then, we have increased our number of heirloom choices as well as a few of our favorite hybrid varieties. These plants are started from seed and grown by our volunteers for the sale.

Funds from this sale are used to help promote horticulture in Sawyer, Washburn, and Burnett Counties.

The sale begins at 8 am on Saturday, May 18th and continues until we sell out. Last year it was about 2-1/2 hours. Come early to get the best choices!

The following detailed charts and pictures are for plants offered at the 2013 sale.

The plant sale allows us to give grants or provide money for worthy community projects including:

  • Signage for the Happy Tonics Butterfly Garden in Shell Lake
  • Signage for the Hayward Public Library Rain Garden 
  • Financial Support for Soup Stock
  • Support for Spooner Agriculture Research Station demonstration gardens
