Success StoryLincoln Trail Master Gardeners Host the State Master Gardener Conference, Again



Lincoln Trail Master Gardeners Host the State Master Gardener Conference, Again

Author: Amy Aldenderfer

Planning Unit: Hardin County CES

Major Program: Master Gardener

Plan of Work: Activating Volunteer Leaders through Extension Programs

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In September 2022, the Lincoln Trail Area Master Gardener Association hosted the state-wide Master Gardener Conference.  There were over 150 Master Gardeners in attendance for this two-day conference.  

The theme of “Sustainability is in Our Hands” wove through the topics of the 10 speakers: conifers, organic vegetables, cut flower gardening, invasives of the forest, critters in the garden, succulents, greenhouses, gourds, and insect identification.  Tours of three local gardens, a great award meal and sharing sessions rounded out the conference.

After hosting one virtual conference in 2020, canceling the 2021 conference, and finally hosting a face-to-face conference, the LTA Master Gardeners are ready to hand off the planning to the next group!
