If you need a speaker for your event or organization, the Lancaster County Master Gardeners offer a variety of horticultural programs to the public.
Master Gardeners Joanna Brelvi and Indie Kachel teach a class on growing vegetables.
Presentations are delivered by Master Gardener volunteers, who are home gardeners in Lancaster County—just like your audience—and can share in the joys and challenges of local gardening in relatable ways!
Master Gardeners have an enthusiasm for horticulture and are trained by Penn State Extension on a broad range of horticultural topics. These volunteers teach horticultural best practices to the public through a variety of experiences and maintain their certification through continuing education.

We also may be able to create a custom presentation—please contact us a minimum of three months in advance to talk about your ideas. A guaranteed audience of 10 persons is required for custom talks.
Unless otherwise noted, our presentations are one-hour programs, including time for audience questions. Most presentations include a PowerPoint slide show, so a screen or blank wall would be necessary. Some programs may be able to be presented virtually.
Cost to sponsoring organization
We request a $100.00 donation to help support the Master Gardener program and its educational mission. Checks should be made out to "PSCE Program Fund" and given to the presenter or mailed to
