Master Gardener Speaker Request

Are you looking to inspire your group with practical, research-based home gardening insights? We provide knowledgeable speakers on a wide range of gardening topics, such as the following, and more:

  • Edible plants (vegetables, fruits, herbs)
  • Native plants
  • Container gardening
  • Seed saving
  • Soil & fertilizers
  • Pests & diseases
  • Gardening for wildlife
  • Flowers
  • Houseplants
  • Landscaping
  • Climate resilient gardening

Fill out the request form as completely as possible. A Speakers Bureau Coordinator will contact you within two weeks.

Please keep in mind:

  • We need a minimum of 3 weeks notice for any speaker request. April talks should be requested at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance due to the high volume of requests at that time.
  • Speakers are focused on adult education. If you work with a school, see the Children and Schools section of our Community Programs page for information about our youth programs.
  • If you are organizing a talk for a library that has a Master Gardener Library Liaison, please continue to work directly with that person.
  • If you want to have an information table staffed by UC Master Gardeners at your event rather than a speaker, go to our Event Request page.

Thank you for thinking of UC Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County for your organization.
