Would you like a speaker for your garden club, homeowners' meeting, or other local group?

A speakers' pool of active members are available for presentations to public groups upon request. Approximately 40 master gardeners are involved; more are welcome to apply.

Through the Speaker’s Bureau, master gardeners utilize the expertise, knowledge and awareness created through JCC/W MGA education and projects to educate the public on requested horticultural topics. By creating a speakers’ pool of our members, we are able to present a variety of formats to community groups.
