Are you an experienced gardener, ready to help a new gardener grow? Become a Garden Mentor!

Mentors participate in a orientation program where you receive a mentoring guide filled with helpful handouts, tips, and a schedule of topics to cover. There's also room for flexibility and creativity.

The mentorship program is a program of the Brown County Community Gardens. Mentors complete paperwork to become official Brown County volunteers.

Are you a first-time gardener?

When you purchase your garden box, you can sign up to be paired with an experienced garden mentor who will support you with your first growing season.

Mentors are community volunteers who meet at their assigned “mentees” garden five times (dates and times determined by the mentorship pair) throughout the gardening season to provide guidance and build gardening confidence.

Garden Mentors are assigned a new gardener who has received a New Leaf Garden Blitz Garden Box or rented a plot through the Brown County Community Gardens Program. Pairs meet five times (virtually or in person, typically at the mentee's home or community garden, to be decided by each pair) over the course of the season to provide guidance and build gardening confidence.

Mentors will receive a mentoring guide filled with helpful handouts, tips, and a schedule of topics to cover. All mentors are required to complete an orientation and a background check to become an official volunteer of Brown County.
