Our Mission
Ozaukee Master Gardeners is a nonprofit organization that works to educate the public about science-based, environmentally sound gardening practices, to help instill a love of growing. Our volunteers, who are required to take advanced horticulture training, work on a dozen community projects that help beautify Ozaukee County as well as enrich the lives of area residents.
Among our projects are educational gardens at Advocates Shelter, a 4-H horticulture program, a teaching garden at Cedarburg’s Webster Elementary School, horticulture therapy at Lasata Care Center, the award-winning triangle garden in downtown Port Washington and more.
