MISSION STATEMENT: The Door County Master Gardeners Association, Inc., in partnership with UW-Extension, shall strive to make a positive impact on horticulture in our community through education, community outreach and stewardship of our environment.

Master Gardeners are volunteers with UW-Extension who help educate the public about gardening and natural resources. The Door County Master Gardeners Association was founded in 1995. Since then, it has grown to a 100+ member organization that provides horticulture-related services to the community. Master Gardener Volunteers maintain The Garden Door, sponsor free educational programs, provide answers to residents' horticulture questions and provide outreach to youth and not-for-profit organizations throughout the county. DCMGA usually sponsors two major events each year.
