Meet Your Environmental Horticulture Agent

Wendy Wilber

Wendy Wilber is our Environmental Horticulture Agent. Her main focus is to teach Alachua County residents how to create and maintain environmentally friendly landscapes. These Florida friendly landscapes minimize water use, reduce storm water run off, and decrease the potential pollutants of pesticides, and nitrates.

Wendy also provides leadership for programming in home horticulture. In this role, she develops and coordinates the Master Gardener volunteer program. These volunteers participate in an intensive course to learn about gardening, horticulture and landscaping. In turn, these volunteers advise and teach people of Alachua County in areas of plants, landscape, and insects and diseases of plants. Wendy also instructs the 4-H Junior Master Gardener program for 3rd and 4th graders. These children learn not only about gardening, but about environmental stewardship as well.
