Outreach & Plant Health Advising

Horticulture Help Line Assistance

Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties

PHAs are Master Gardeners who help horticulture staff to meet the diagnostic needs of the gardening public by responding to inquiries about yard and garden care:

  • By phone
  • Though samples submitted
  • In-person at the office
  • At outreach sites and events in the community

They also assist with the preparation of educational displays and exhibits related to plant health issues. To find out more about the PHA volunteer opportunities, reach out to:

Milwaukee County - Susan Taylor at susan.taylor@wisc.edu

Waukesha County - Kristin Krokowski at krokowski@wisc.edu or call 262-548-7768 

As a PHA, you have the satisfaction of helping others as well as learning more about horticulture. PHAs have opportunities for professional development including special training and monthly newsletters with updates on plant health issues.

Garden Mentor

Youth Gardening Outreach

Connecting youth with engaging and meaningful gardening projects and connecting MGVs with quality resources to work with them. Education includes: ongoing displays and activities at farmers markets - drop-in activities and take away educational pieces; elementary school high interest days; Earth Day celebrations; 4H events; State Fair scavenger hunt; Retzer Apple Fest, and Wehr Nature Center Bug Day.

Garden Mentor

Share your garden knowledge and the resources of the UW-Madison Extension; advise and teach volunteers, staff, and participants to help them plan, install, plant, care for, and harvest their community garden as needed. MGVs do not care for the garden but advise community members about how to care for their own garden. Generally a short-term project. 

Public Presentations

MGV Speakers Bureau

Volunteer by giving gardening presentations to the public. Training is provided to all who are interested in giving presentations. Speaker notes are provided as well.

Contact Susan Taylor, chair of the SEWMG Speaker's Bureau.
