Master Gardener Speakers Bureau
 Master gardeners often have gardening and horticultural
knowledge that they are willing to share with others. One of the key goals
of the master gardeners' program is to be a resource to their communities and
the public on subjects related to horticultural information. The list
below includes Mississippi master gardeners who have volunteered to speak with
groups on subjects in which they have a particular interest or expertise.
They may be contacted directly concerning their availability to give
presentations.
