- Please wear a mask to any Master Gardener event you attend and maintain social distancing.
- 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.
