This includes addressing the high priority issues of storm water run-off and water quality, water efficient landscapes and the development of a statewide outreach program for the adoption of IPM in home gardens and development of new educational materials and developing and implementing outreach methods via UCTV, internet accessible publications and a Home and Garden webpage. Additionally, the workgroup addresses the needs of the Master Gardener Program on a statewide basis. |
