Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners
Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners are people who love to garden, learn about gardening, and share what they learn with others. We are a community of gardeners who share a curiosity for learning, a passion for conservation, and a sense of obligation to enrich our community through outreach, education, and beautification.
The Extension Master Gardeners (EMG) host educational presentations each month from January through November. Watch for announcements on this page and on the EMG Facebook Page .
You can watch all our recorded presentations, and much more, on our EMG YouTube channel .
Extension Master Gardener Speakers Bureau
Do you need a speaker for your church, civic group, or garden club? Our Extension Master Gardener Volunteers are university trained and can present on a wide range of topics. We can adapt our presentations to meet your group’s needs from a short 30-minute presentation to a longer format if needed at no cost to you. To schedule a speaker for your group, please contact Niki Kenniff, Horticulture Assistant at 785-843-7058. We will try to match your interests with a suitable speaker. See our list of available horticultural topics HERE.
