How to Become a Master Gardener

Master Gardeners are volunteers trained by the University of California whose mission is to help others garden successfully.
We currently offer a comprehensive training class in odd-numbered years. Our last class was in 2019. Unique to our area, we conduct training using a hybrid online model. Part of the class is conducted via lectures completed on your own time. The remainder happens at in-person sessions.
