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.
