Annually, Master Gardeners are asked to make presentations to individuals, groups, organizations, youth, and adults. There is a list of topics many Master Gardeners can speak about,t and those willing to give presentations are listed on the ever-changing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research-based information for today\u2019s gardening challenges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our changing climate requires that Extension Master Gardeners stay abreast of cutting-edge research-based gardening practices so we can give unbiased, valuable advice in our communities. One way to do this is through hosting a gardening symposium. We partner with the Columbia Basin Conservation District each year to organize an event that brings top speakers around a key gardening theme and delivers that information to you, free of charge, through the generosity of sponsors, donors, and grants. The themes change each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
