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 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.
