We request a minimum of 10 attendees. Presentations typically range from 30 minutes to one hour. In most cases there is no charge, however donations to the Master Gardener Foundation of King County (www.mgfkc.org) are appreciated.
Once a request is received, we will do our best to provide a speaker, however, our WSU Master Gardeners are volunteers, and we cannot guarantee a Master Gardener will be available for your specific event date/time.
