UC Internet Resources

The UC Master Gardener Program is designed share science-based information with the public. In addition to our many Volunteers, the following resources provide the answers to many, if not most, of your questions.

California Garden Web

The UC Master Gardener Program designed the California Garden Web to serve as a portal to organize and extend the University of California's vast collection of research-based information about gardening to the public. The California Garden Web focuses on sustainable gardening practices.

California Backyard Orchard

When a home orchard is based on an understanding that it is a living expression of genetics interacting with soils, weather, pests, tree spacing, and many other factors, then the outcome will likely be one of success.

Integrated Pest Management Program

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a process you can use to solve pest problems while minimizing risks to people and the environment. IPM can be used to manage all kinds of pests anywhere–in urban, agricultural, and wildland or natural areas.

IPM's Plant Problem Diagnostic Tool

Rather than navigating through UC IPM’s content-dense website, the Plant Problem Diagnostic Tool uses an image selection interface to narrow down possible plant pests or problems by choosing the plant that has the issue, then the part of the plant where the problem is occurring, and then the damage observed. This process easily and quickly generates a short(er) list of possible pests, diseases, or abiotic problems; helping the user to verify their problem(s) and find appropriate solutions. The tool is for non-commercial purposes only and any non-commercial website may link directly to the Plant Problem Diagnostic Tool page.

Safe and Poisonous Plants

Information on this website is about plants poisonous to people. Do not use the plant lists on this site to learn about safe or toxic plants for animals. Some links are provided on plants poisonous to animals.
