Additional topics can be prepared to meet a particular group’s needs or interests.
The Master Gardeners are avid gardeners who have received extensive training through Cornell Cooperative Extension.
The talks are 45 minutes in duration, followed by 10-15 minutes for questions from the group. A fee of $75 per speaker is requested to help defray the cost of our numerous community projects.
