COVID-19 Update

In an abundance of caution during the COVID-19 pandemic and at the recommendation of various public health agencies we will be adjusting our services accordingly:

Our Master Gardener Helpline desk will only be responding to emails. Please email your inquires to mgventura@ucdavis.edu

Please wear a mask and gloves to any Master Gardener event you attend.

Plant samples can be brought to the UC Cooperative Extension office for analysis (669 County Square Drive, Suite 100, Ventura, CA 93003). There is a bin with instructions outside the main door.

Thanks for your patience during this time. We will inform you when we resume normal activities.
