The Volunteer Management System (VMS) is an online system developed by UC ANR to assist volunteers in keeping accurate records of their volunteer activities. It also provides an online place for communication and collaboration within each County MG Program.
Santa Clara County Master Gardeners use several different online tools for internal communications. The method of communication chosen depends on the topic of the message and whether the message is an announcement or an invitation to discussion.
Two key sources of funding to the Master Gardener Program of Santa Clara County are: The UCCE Santa Clara County Master Gardener Fund ( UCCE MG accounts) The Friends of Master Gardeners which is a California nonprofit public benefits corporation and a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.
