Re: garden show/parking/training hours

Since we do not have MG general meetings, that wouldn't work for us. However, our individual garden groups do meet. This means that our Nursery group meets periodically. When we got together in late January to plan the year, I brought this very item (Dan's idea) up, but once again I ended up as the Little Red Hen. Sure, yeah, sounds great if someone else does the presenting.
I just got our newsletter and we are hosting a MG conference on April 14. It runs 9:30 to 3 and has 3 speakers. The first one is on herbs. The woman is a miniature bulldozer and I would just fume if I had to listen to her so I'll skip it. The next is pruning practices which I could use and the 3rd one I am looking forward to: "You say Tomato, I say Lycopersicon - Simplifying, Understanding, and Pronouncing Botanical Names." I will probably work at something at the conference, but the 2 lectures, together w the ones I get at H&G show, should round out the 6 ed hours I need.

Sorry I am late (as usual) to chime in on this subject. Training was always an issue so our group started a new program. At least once a month speakers 
who are usually MGs give an hour presentation approved by the Hort Ed for
training. This month we had a one hour Sunday afternoon presentation on
"Creating a Backyard Habitat" by our resident bird expert MG. It covered
plants, water sources and wildlife. Twenty five MGs attended. In March, I
will be doing a presentation on Use, Care and Sharpening of Garden Tools.
Other topics I remember have been Rose Care and Identification, Shade
Gardening, Water Gardening, Pest and Disease Control and Identification, and 
Lawn Care. Some are afternoons and weekends but most are evenings.

There are a few things authorized online, but they fall in the arm&leg
category.
