In October 2020, the Lincoln Trail Area Master Gardener Association, with the guidance and technology experience of the Horticulture Agent, presented a one-day, virtual state-wide Master Gardener Conference.  There were over 125 Master Gardeners in attendance for 5 continuing education credits.  There were 5 speakers, a virtual garden tour,and tips from local Master Gardeners.  The conference was a huge success, given the new technology and the limitations on travel.  

The Lincoln Trail Area Master Gardeners are planning to host an in-person conference in the Fall of 2021.
