2005 International Master Gardener Conference in Saskatoon, Canada

Greetings Master Gardener Coordinators and Master Gardeners:

We have been working very hard to pull together a diverse and interesting conference program filled with stimulating educational sessions, world-class speakers and fabulous garden tours. Combine the conference with the pre- and post-conference tours and we're sure you'll agree that Master Gardeners will be treated to an unforgettable learning and travel experience.

On behalf of the Master Gardeners of Saskatchewan we cordially invite you to be our special guests. Not only is this the 10th International Master Gardener Conference, but in 2005 the province of Saskatchewan is celebrating 100 years since joining the Canadian confederation, so there is even more to see and do here during this special year. For those of you who joined us for the 1995 International Master Gardener Conference, welcome back for an even more memorable experience. For the rest of you, come to Saskatoon, enjoy our unique brand of hospitality and share the passion of our Master Gardeners.

I, and all of the members of the 2005 International Master Gardener Conference Organizing Committee, look forward to seeing all of you here in Saskatoon in July!
