Speakers Bureau
Master Gardeners in Crow Wing County offer presentations on many different horticulture-related topics. Your group can request a Master Gardener to present virtually or in-person for any event where there is an audience eager to learn about gardening.

Typically, scheduling requires two weeks advanced notice. Every effort will be made to find a speaker for every request received but please keep in mind that Master Gardeners are volunteers. Usually an honorarium is suggested for a public presentation.

To request a presentation, please email the Program Coordinator Brittany Goerges: [email protected]
