Mary Collet
I have been a master gardener for more than a decade, enjoying opportunities to contribute to
community gardening efforts. I served as lead gardener for the Schumacher Farm Park heirloom
vegetable garden for 4 years and maintained the rain garden at Pope Farm Conservancy for 3 years.
Currently, I coordinate the community grant program for the Madison Area Master Gardeners

perennials, especially pollinator plants.
