Planning Programs
Branches are always searching for interesting speakers. Non-profits are listed first and then commercial garden centers. Most organizations prefer email to phone calls. Look for “Contact Us” on their website. Some will charge a speaker’s fee. Non-profits should be given a donation. If the speaker sells things, ask if they want a table. Field trips are always popular, especially when combined with a dinner or lunch.
