hi travis
there is a link for u that i think u might find interesting it is i
pdf format so u need acrobat reader to view it.
it is about a master gardeners conference. if u notice near the ver
beginning it mentions that one of the keynote speakers included davi
tarrant also on page 4 u will notice where it says april 21 "thin
spring" it mentions there about a welcome back to mark cullen who ha
spoken at a master gardeners event in 1995.
hope this clears things up for u. also if u ever get a chance to watc
any programs that they may have please do as u will find them both t
be good speakers and very informative.           have a great day
sockiescat.

here is the link for you :) .

Lots of people are speakers at Master Gardener conferences that are not
master gardeners.  

Tarrant is on staff at UBC, a garden writer and a TV personality and
wouldn't probably even think of being a Master Gardener.  

Mark Cullen is a garden writer and TV and radio personality from a
family gardening business (Sheridan Nurseries) and President of
Greendale Garden Products Ltd. Ontarios largest distributor of garden
supplies to the independent garden centre trade and probably wouldn't
even think of being a Master Gardener either.  

It would be like the Queen applying for proof of UK citizenship.  I
doubt she would bother.

hi there travis how u doing? looks like u have been doing some researc
to thats all cool. not sure if the queen has a passport or not kind o
makes u wonder though dont it lol.
i decided to look furthur into things for ya since u seem interested i
whether both mark cullen and david tarrant are indeed master gardeners.
i have sent an email off to mark cullen hopefully we will hear bac
from him before long.
this is an email address that u can use to reach him as well if u wis
to
groundskeeper@markcullen.com  

i also emailed this person for information on david tarrant. i hav
included the email address for u as well so that u can do the same if
wish.
hailey.pappin@ubc.ca

hopefully i hear back from both of these email addresses. if not wel
then i guess thats life.
