The Master Gardeners’ Speakers Bureau is a no-fee service.  We offer interactive presentations and demonstrations for clubs, schools, homeowner’s associations, and service organizations within Louisa County and the surrounding area.  Our speakers can educate on a wide range of topics.  All of our programs are based on environmentally sound horticultural principles and practices.

 

The goal of the Louisa Extension Master Gardener Speakers Bureau is to provide an on-going, year-round resource for our community.  Please provide us with a minimum of three weeks advance notice to prepare for the presentation.  Preparation will involve research and the design of appropriate materials.  They may consist of hands-on-workshops, a storyboard and/or a PowerPoint lecture.  

​

When you contact us, please be prepared to include your contact information, group name, location of the meeting, and the estimated attendance.
