UC Marin Master Gardeners are University of California-trained and certified volunteers who provide research-based knowledge and information on sustainable landscape practices, pest management and home horticulture to gardeners in Marin.
Summer Dry. Marin is still suffering from severe drought, and yet we are not doing well with our water saving. Summer and fall could be tough if we’re facing low water and fire danger. Keep your house and garden prepared. You can find lots of advice here at the FireSafe Marin site. Check out the FireSafe Marin videos too.
All your edibles are growing nicely, and then… the pests arrive. All your hard work has gone toward feeding the bugs! Don’t worry. This site can help you identify the plant bugs and deal with common pests and problems. There is so much on the Master Gardener Website to help you with your garden, so Dig Deep!
