Master Gardener Volunteers in Wisconsin contributed 199,500 hours to UW-Extension and their communities in 2011. The value of their volunteer service is worth more than $4.27 million* throughout the state. (* using an estimated dollar value of volunteer time of $21.36 per hour as calculated by Independent Sector) 11,589 hours in Youth Education 35,979 hours in Community Education 151,932 hours in Support Services • This represents an average of approximately 62 hours of service per volunteer annually. • MGVs also participated in 70,978 hours of continuing education hours to keep them actively learning and updated. • Outstanding accomplishments in cumulative volunteer efforts through 2011 include: 3,193 with 150 hours of service (267 new this year) 2,022 with 250 hours of service (201) 941 with 500 hours of service (119) 542 with 750 hours of service (63) 347 with 1000 hours of service (46) 63 with 2500 hours of service (4) 15 with 5000 hours of service (0) 2 with 10000 hours of service (0) 1 with 15000 hours of service (0) 5 Executive Summary The seed for the Master Gardener (MG) program was planted in 1972 by Washington State Cooperative Extension. MG Volunteers (MGVs) were trained to extend Extension’s outreach to community residents in educating people about horticulture. The MG program began in Wisconsin through the UW- Extension in the late 1970’s. Local MG groups banded together in 1992 to form the Wisconsin Master Gardener Association (WIMGA). The mission of the WIMGA is to support and provide leadership to individual MGVs and local organizations in their mission to assist UW-Extension in community horticultural programs through volunteerism, education and environmental stewardship. The WIMGA is the communication link between MGVs throughout the state and a voice for ideas and issues relating to the MG program. Several members of the WIMGA Board of Directors sit on the WI MG Advisory Committee with UW- Extension Horticulture Specialists and Agents to recommend policy for the MG program. The WIMGA is a statewide organization that supports 53 local MG associations and individual MGVs. WIMGA’s Board of Directors is made up of 15 dedicated MGVs, with two Directors from each of the 6 UW-Extension districts plus three Members-At-Large. They meet monthly over the WisLine network and at least twice a year face-to-face. Some of the major accomplishments of WIMGA for 2011 include: • Published the WIMGA Annual Accomplishment Report for 2011. • Conducted the 2011 Annual Meeting in Madison, with approximately 230 MGVs attending. • Worked with the WI MG Coordinator on website, bimonthly newsletter and more. • Awarded a total of $3,400 in Education Grants to local MG associations: Three $100 grants: Calumet Co. MGA, Shar-a-Gardeners MGA (Waushara Co.), and Vilas Co. MGA. Six $250 grants: Door Co. MGA, Fond du Lac Co. MGA, Grant Co. MGA, Jefferson Co. MGA Vilas Co. MGA, and Washington Co. MGA. Four $400 grants: Dunn Co. MGA (pop-up canopy with MGA name for events); Lake Superior MGA (Permanent labels and markers for garden projects); North Central WI MGA (teaching vegetable garden supplies); Shar-a-Gardeners MGA (laptop computer). • Contributed $1,000 to the WI Junior Horticulture Association to help defray the costs of WI youth attending the National Conference and $750 to.

  • Charles Glass…In His Own Words INTRODUCTION by VIRGINIA HAYES
    LOTUSLAND NEWSLETTER FOR MEMBERS ◆ VOLUME 18 NO. 2 ◆ SPRING 2009 Charles Glass…In His Own Words INTRODUCTION BY VIRGINIA HAYES HARLES GLASS came to work at Lotusland with his business partner C Robert Foster in 1973. Foster soon decided to go back to his other work as a cactus and succulent specialist, and Glass continued on as the director of the garden until 1983. During his tenure, the original succulent garden was renovated and many new specimens added, the cacti and euphorbias were reorganized and replanted along the main driveway, and the aloe garden was totally revamped with impressive boulders and many more species of aloes. His largest project was the design and installation of the cycad garden, but he was also instrumental in adding azaleas to the Japanese garden, renovating the upper bromeliad garden and creating the lower bromeliad garden as well as all of the myriad tasks necessary to maintain the property. Glass was dedicated to Madame SYLVESTER Walska and her vision for Lotusland. Ten years before his death in 1998, he wrote ARTHUR ARTHUR of his experiences with her and in the Glass (FAR RIGHT) and Madame Walska (CENTER) escort visitors through the garden on this rare public tour garden.

  • Santa Fe Extension Master Gardeners Newsletter
    May 2019 Vol. 9 No 5. Santa Fe Extension Master Gardeners Newsletter Lilacs in North- ern New Mexico by Márta Gyeviki Nothing is more wistful than the scent of lilac, nor more robust than its woody stalk, for we must re- member that it is a tree as well as a flower, we must try not to forget this. —Stevie Smith Springtime always brings wonders and promises of renewal: emerg- ing leaves, flowering bulbs, and warmer days. After the still and monochromatic winter, it is exciting to see colors. Although lilacs are not the earliest bloomers, they are among the early flowering bushes and are distinctive to Santa Fe, the Taos valley, and surrounding popu- lated areas nearby. They are not native to New Mexico, nor even to the United States, but lilacs are widely cultivated and have been naturalized in most of North America. When used along with native plants, they offer a good example of how useful imported plants can be in fostering a diverse landscape. Both large, sprawling common lilac (Syringa vulgaris), native to the Balkans, and the smaller, more deli- cate Persian lilac hybrid (Syringa x persica) were introduced to the American colonies in the 18th centu- ry. According to correspondence between gardeners and botanists in Virginia and Pennsylvania, a “fine collection” was grown in those states at that time. Historical records show that lilacs arrived in Santa Fe from France, having been brought by Bishop Lamy, who arrived here in 1851. Americans and Europeans probably brought them to Taos around 1900. Tips for Growing Lilacs Successfully Lilacs are very hardy and easy to grow.
