Are you interested in helping others and giving back to your community? The UCCE Master Gardener Program is looking for you! You don't need to be an authority on gardening. Master Gardener trainees take classes from University of California experts on soil, water, fruit and vegetable crops, low water use plants, composting, and much more. Trainees graduate to become Master Gardeners who give back to the community. Opportunities include teaching classes at local libraries, giving out information at Farmers Markets, and answering Help Line calls.
