REVISED New members only login page
Members were sent an email Feb. 13-14 updating everyone on the REVISED members only login. We had to make some adjustments to the first trial. Now, the kinks appear to be worked out.

Associate Membership recruitment and registration is now live!
As a result of the overwhelming support of our Association for an Associate Member category and many hours of work by the Membership Committee and Peggy to prepare materials, our Associate Membership program is now live. Visit the Membership page on our website that delineates our two membership categories, Certified Master Gardener and Associate Master Gardener. Users may also visit our Associate Member rollout on Facebook. Kate Fix is lead on the Membership Committee.
What is new with Brown County Seed Library?
A lot! From mid February to mid May, there are many opportunities to learn and volunteer. Click here for the schedule of opportunities.
The annual kickoff deserves its own shoutout. Can volunteer and help promote attendance? It will be March 8, 2025, noon-3 pm at Central Branch, Brown County Library. Volunteers will man a table to provide hands-on learning for seed starting. At the same time in a different location in the Library, other volunteers are sought to answer questions at a drop in Q and A table and to assist with the bulk seed swap. For more information, contact Melissa Wass.
