A very hardy thank you for a job well done is extended to  the Master Gardeners.

      Pictured from left:  Joe Oswald, Mary Lou Nicholls, Jan Olejniczak, and Dee Hintz.  They

      have contributed the materials, labor and plants for the gardens surrounding the

      Greenfield School building located next to the Old Town Hall Museum in Fifield.

   The Master Gardener Program is a nationwide program.  In

   Wisconsin it is an organization of volunteers in horticulture.  After

   training in all aspects of gardening through the University of

   Wisconsin-Extension, members are certified as Master Gardeners.

   Gardeners become involved in educating other members

   of their communities, answering questions and providing information,

   whether at local gardening events, special workshops, or on

   UW-Extension supported garden phone lines.  Master Gardeners

   present talks on perennials, plant propagation, native plants, and

   other topics for various groups throughout the state.  They also

   undertake projects to beautify their communities, as was the case

   with the Price County Historical Society's Greenfield School next to

   the Old Fifield Town Hall Museum as shown in the photo.
