This is the third time that the Master Gardeners of Greene County will host the statewide conference in Springfield since the formation of their group in 1985.
The event will include tours of local parks and home gardens, a wide array of educational speakers focusing on
gardening topics. The keynote address will be given by Mitch McCulloch. Mitch’s new book “The Seed Hunter” will be available for a signing event before and after the address. This book highlights his time with Baker Creek Seed where he traveled the world searching for new seed varieties. Mitch also has an extensive background in vegetable production from his native English origins as well as culinary farm-to-table cooking with the fresh produce.
Vendors will also be available for on-site shopping. This event is open to both the public and Master Gardeners. For details and pricing information, please visit: https://staging.mggreene.org/2026-missouri-master-gardener-conference…
