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!
