Request a Speaker

Please send your request at least 4 weeks before your event date. A Master Gardener Volunteer will contact you to schedule a speaker.

Our Master Gardener volunteers can give presentations on a wide range of gardening topics, for example, spring/fall gardening, composting, lawn care, and setting up school and community gardens. 

• The information is current and research-based.
• We speak with civic groups, neighborhood associations and garden clubs. We can even speak at community events.   
• Our programs may include powerpoint slides, demonstrations or hands-on activities for adults or children, depending on your group's needs.
