The 2012 State Master Gardener Conference is Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Courthouse Square in downtown Warren.

Several governmental and non-profit organizations will join the Trumbull County Master Gardeners in offering educational programming to attendees. Also, there are several adjacent venues for Master Gardener volunteer lectures and presentations as well as open air space for the public to enjoy horticultural programming and vending opportunities, including one public speaker venue located directly on courthouse square sponsored by the Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership.
