Our volunteers give presentations, conduct workshops or provide question and answer sessions for community groups, schools, garden clubs, horticultural societies, work groups and other organizations. We also staff advice clinics at community events, and partner with a wide range of community groups to inform and inspire gardeners.

Master Gardeners are in high demand, often booked as much as a year in advance.

Please give us 4-6 week’s notice when requesting a Master Gardener for your event, and even more notice for events during the busy gardening season from March to June. We will make every effort to fulfil your request.

To discuss the options and possibilities for your engagement or event, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteers@torontomastergardeners.ca
