Wisconsin Horticulture
Due to county budget cuts, Extension Iron County is no longer able to offer Horticulture services to the community (effective December 1, 2024). This includes no longer providing support for soil samples, and plant and insect diagnostic services. Our Horticulture Educator position has also been cut.
However, we will continue to share Horticulture resources that are available on a statewide level on this page and via our social media pages.
If you have additional questions about these changes, or need assistance feel free to contact our office at 715-561-2695.
