UC Master Gardener volunteers staff a Helpline serving Mariposa County, including Greeley Hill, Coulterville and Lake Don Pedro. Our volunteer staff promotes successful and sustainable gardening practices by providing home gardeners with research-based information from the University of California and other academic or government institutions. The staff has access to an extensive library, University of California Agricultural Advisors, university internet sites and a microscope for researching home gardening problems. Home gardeners can bring their questions or specimens in or contact the Helpline by phone or email.
