Demonstration Garden
This garden is a joint effort between the Spooner Agricultural Research Station, operated by the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension Service and area UW-Extension Master Gardener Volunteers. It's purpose is to demonstrate perennial and annual plants that are suitable for growing in zone 3. In addition, there are many perennial plantings being evaluated for winter survival and growth habit. Part of the garden is an official All-America Selections Display Garden. This AAS display is one of only seven sites found in Wisconsin.

Got Dirt?
The Got Dirt? Gardening Initiative trains teachers and childcare providers to start and maintain youth and school gardens. The class and related teaching aids give teachers and childcare providers the skills they need to establish and sustain successful school garden programs, even with Wisconsin’s short growing season.
School gardens create an active learning environment and increase children's knowledge and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
