UC Master Gardeners of San Luis Obispo County
Welcome
The UC Master Gardener Program of San Luis Obispo County is part of University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources. We share research-based gardening and pest management information with the public.
Our trained UC Master Gardener volunteers help home gardeners make practical, informed decisions about plant care, pest problems, soil, irrigation, and sustainable gardening practices.
You can connect with us by attending a workshop, visiting our demonstration garden, stopping by a farmers market booth, or contacting our helpline with a gardening question.
