Gardening information you can trust, Lake County Master Gardeners

As gardening season begins, University of Minnesota – Extension Lake County Master Gardeners are ready to assist you with your gardening questions, provide educational materials, and present programs for community events or organizations. Master Gardeners are volunteers and spend many hours learning and volunteering in their communities. Most of us are not professional horticulturalists, we are people who enjoy sharing our love of gardening and knowledge we have acquired. We will also find answers to your questions using research-based sources. Our go-to is the UMN-Extension website extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden. This website is a wealth of research-based information, and I encourage all gardeners to check it out. A great new feature is the Plant Elements of Design Tool that will help match plants to your growing conditions.
