UC Master Gardener Demonstration Garden in Sonora

UC Master Gardeners of Tuolumne County

Find answers to your home gardening questions, including plant and pest problems.  When the garden is not open, home gardening assistance is offered by UC Master Gardeners through the help line at: 209-533-5912.  The public may leave a message regarding a problem and a UCCE Master Gardener will return the call. You can also fill out our “Ask a Master Gardener” online form at https://ucanr.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=7269, or email your question to us at mgtuolumne@ucdavis.edu.

 

The Demonstration Garden is a project of the UCCE Tuolumne County Master Gardeners, whose primary goal is to educate the public about home gardening.  Proceeds from plant sales support the UCCE Master Gardeners’ education programs and maintenance of the Demonstration Garden. For additional details contact the UC Cooperative Extension office at (209) 533-5695 or visit the UC Cooperative Extension website: http://cecentralsierra.ucanr.edu/
