Madera County Master Gardener Program

Give to the Madera Master Gardener Program

End of the year giving:

As the year comes to a close, we celebrate the incredible difference UC Master Gardener volunteers have made across California. Thanks to you our gardens, helplines and workshops have become trusted spaces of learning , joy and resilience. Together we're growing fresh produce for food banks, taught families to conserve water and inspired children to discover the wonders of pollinators.

Each seed planted, each question answered, each hour volunteered strengthens our communities. Yet the need continues. Yet the need continues to grow-neighbors turn to us for guidance on sustainable gardening, healthy food and thriving landscapes. Your support ensures that we can meet this demand. With your help, we'll train new volunteers, expand resources and sustain a program rooted in service and education and community.
