Mercury-News reports on new Master Gardener coordinator

Return to Welcome UC ANR Employees!

The San Jose Mercury-News ran a story this week about Santa Clara County UC Cooperative Extension's new Master Gardener coordinator, Carole Frost. Frost earned a bachelor's degree in horticulture from Pennsylvania State University in 1987 and worked as a horticulture educator with the Penn State Cooperative Extension program, never intending to leave her hometown of Hershey, Penn.

However, her husband took a job with the Air National Guard at Moffet Field, and the family moved west. The UC job, she told reporter Holly Hayes, "was like a dream come true."

"I will again have the best of both worlds — working with plant material and providing educational opportunities for the Master Gardeners and for the community," Frost was quoted in the story. "The organization is top-notch and the amount of work and community outreach that is completed is amazing."
