30 years of sharing our love of gardening...

After 30 years of sharing our love of gardening with the community,
Burnett Garden Club has found it necessary to disband as a formal club. It
has been a fun and exciting 30 years with lots of tradition building and a
lot of change. Meeting new members, keeping in touch with old members and
saying goodbye to members who have gone on to their celestial gardens has
been a big part of being an ongoing institution in Burnett County these past
three decades. We have always been, first and foremost, lovers of plants and
growing things and have grown our community of gardeners in the same way. A
seed was planted and nurtured so many years ago that became something bigger
and grander over the years. But like the plants we love so much, all things
have their natural life span.

We would like to thank all of our members over the years for the
contributions they have made to our club and to our communities. We would
like to thank especially those who served as officers and chaired committees
over the years and kept us all in pursuit of the same goals which were
educating ourselves about gardening and nature, sharing this knowledge with
our community, and having a great time while doing it! We would also like to
thank all the gardeners in and outside our club who shared their lovely
gardens with us over the years. Wow! What talent we have in this community
for creating beautiful spaces to enjoy and grow in. We would like to thank
Wood River Garden Store and Village Floral for all of their support over the
years and for the expertise they so happily share with our community. We
would like to thank the Wisconsin Extension Service Spooner Ag Station's
Kevin Schoessow for his contributions to our club over the years. And we
would like to thank all the presenters who came to our club meetings to
share their knowledge and passions with us and the members themselves who
taught us so many new things at every meeting. 

Thank you to all who have helped make our club into an active and vital
part of our community in this little corner of Wisconsin these past three
decades.
