Grey County Master Gardeners (GCMGs) offer presentations, advice clinics and practical how-to demonstrations (often in combination) and are happy to support your events. 

We are a non-profit volunteer organization and a donation of $100 is greatly appreciated to help cover our costs and to allow us to continue our community activities, such as community education and gardens, our free winter seminar, participation in community events, to name a few.

Presentations:

Again for 2025, we are offering a wide range of presentation topics including two new presentations; 

• Perennial Food Plants and,
• Weeds-Friend or Foe? 

Advice Clinics and Demonstrations:

Advice Clinics called ‘Ask a Master Gardener’ can be added to enhance your events. In these clinics, we offer a chance for your members to ask us just about anything they can think of – gardening related of course - and we promise to give our best practical scientifically based gardening advice. This also works well as a panel Q&A format.

We are now offering demonstrations and short workshop clinics. These can be run independently or as part of an overall presentation or advice clinic format. We are happy to discuss these further with you.

Our range of demonstration topics is expanding: to date these include;

• Native Plant Container Design and Planting
• Tips for Seed Starting and Planting
• Pruning and Plant Dividing   

GCMGs participate in numerous community events each year such as Farmers Markets, Grown in Grey and River District Blooms. Contact us to discuss your upcoming events and see how we can contribute.

We are always interested in hearing from you about topics of interest. If you have any suggestions, we would be delighted to discuss this with you.
