 Master Gardener Class 2010

The Master Gardener Program is a volunteer service organization sponsored by the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE).  The purpose of the program is to teach people in the community about home horticulture and to extend research-based information produced by the University of California to the home gardener.  Therefore, the role of the Master Gardener is primarily that of "educator."  Click on Master Gardener Open House (to the left) to find out more about our program.
