This year, the Dodge County Master Gardeners were at Country Blossoms Organics in Lomira. 

Our display highlighted a variety of educational materials focused on pollinators and invasive plants.

We also provided a children’s creativity table where young visitors were encouraged to draw something they might find in a garden. Their artwork featured butterflies, corn, a garden, and flowers. To add an educational element, fun facts about ladybugs, bees, and butterflies were displayed around the table.

To engage visitors of all ages, we offered our popular Plinko game and our new Quiz Box activity.  The Plinko game featured gardening trivia questions tailored to both adults and children, covering a wide range of horticultural topics.  The Quiz Box matching game focused on identifying five different types of berries. These interactive activities generated conversations, encouraged learning, and provided an enjoyable way to connect with attendees of all ages.

Throughout the day, Master Gardeners interacted with numerous visitors, answering questions and sharing research-based gardening information. Participation in the Farmland Frolic provides an opportunity for us to increase our visibility in this area of the county, promote educational resources, and strengthen relationships within the community. The event also allowed us to highlight the important role of horticulture while fostering goodwill and community engagement.

The 2026 Farmland Frolic was held on Saturday, July 11th.  This marked the second year for this event, which was created to bring local agricultural farms and businesses together for a day of showcasing their products, talents, and passion for Wisconsin agriculture. This is a free, self-paced, family-friendly event to explore the twelve unique stops throughout Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties.
