Coordinator News

With the continued group size restrictions, social distancing and general uncertainty, some counties have adopted a hybrid UC Master Gardener training.

The final statewide evaluation reports for the program year 2021 (PY21) were sent out in Dec. 2021. Because the reports are cumulative, this report represents total participation in the follow-up survey for your county for PY21.

Determining when to return to in-person activities is being managed at the local level with direction and support from County Directors.

COVID-19 continues to impact our program and the ability to complete standard UC Master Gardener volunteer hour requirements. Based on feedback of program coordinators, adjustments to volunteer hour requirements are available for the 2021-22 program year (July 1, 2021 June 30, 2022).

Amongst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season donors to the UC Master Gardener Program came through with strong support of our programs. Across the state we raised more than $86,000 (cumulatively during Nov. and Dec.) for county programs.
