Resources for Master Gardeners
UC Master Gardener Program Administrative Handbook
The UC Master Gardener Program Administrative Handbook for program staff and volunteers covers the policies and procedures that govern the UC Master Gardener Program, an educational and public service component of the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR).
UC Master Gardener Safety Manual
UC Master Gardener Thinking Safe and Green Notes are one-page summaries of information to help you stay healthy and safe and protect the environment while working in the garden. The UC Master Gardener Safety Manual provides guidance for volunteers on best practices to reduce the risk of injury or illness during UC Master Gardener-sponsored activities.

Online Continuing Education
To make continuous learning more convenient, we have created a list of UC-approved online CE opportunities. This list contains videos, webinars, and presentations that have been developed by UC professionals or reviewed by the UC for accuracy. However, be aware that some content is outdated or pertinent to another state or environment. We will try out best to post updated versions of this list at least once per year.

Volunteer Insurance
If you have questions regarding the liability insurance provided by the University or need to file a claim, visit the Hartford Volunteer Insurance website or contact Jill Tyler at jtyler@ucanr.edu.
Evaluation Process
The evaluation process is an important component of telling our story and the impacts we are making in our counties and statewide. Collecting data from participants at events and workshops is critical to our ongoing success. Thank you for your help! Please use these resources as a foundation for learning about the evaluation process, training volunteers and implementation.
