Speakers Bureau

The speakers bureau represents one of the most important parts of the Master Gardener program – EDUCATION.

Below are some of our recent presentations; however, we can provide research and information on many extended topics. Garden clubs, civic associations, homeowners associations, nature advocates - we are here to address your needs.

For questions or to request a speaker, contact Sandra Shave at speakers@nfmg.net. Please note that due to the volunteer nature of our presenters and planners, make sure to send your requests with at least 30 days’ advanced notice. Please include the preferred format (live or virtual), a location address if appropriate, the date and time, and as much other information as possible. Email is preferred when making requests. Thank you!
