Racine Kenosha Master Gardener Association Project List
All project requests are reviewed in fall by a committee comprised of Master Gardener volunteers and UW-Extension Horticulture Educators. Because there are more requests than volunteers, guidelines have been adopted to help approve the projects. These criteria are:
- Visibility – promotes (or gives credit to) Master Gardener program and UW-Extension
- Educational for the public
- Benefits the general public (non-profit)
- Must have Master Gardener coordinator and/or interest by Master Gardeners
- Annual project report must be submitted by October 1st
