Established in 1985, Master Gardeners of Ontario Inc. (MGOI) is an independent non-profit organization, run by volunteers, dedicated to providing accurate and relevant horticultural information to the public. The Master Gardener program in Ontario was started by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and was funded by them until 1996 when MGOI was created and incorporated as an independent non-profit organization. Master Gardeners (MGs) in the Province of Ontario are experienced gardeners who have studied horticulture extensively and continue to upgrade their skills through technical training.

Bring the forest floor indoors this winter with a potted Wintergreen plant! This marvelous evergreen mound comes with berries in bright reds, coral pinks, and white. It has grown in popularity in recent years as a “disposable” Christmas plant; however, its beauty can extend beyond the holidays with proper care, and in spring find a home in a part-shade to shaded area of the garden, possibly under a hard to grow area around a conifer. There it will give slow-growing, evergreen ground cover, with small white pendulous flowers in summer.
