Who are University of California Master Gardeners?
University of California Master Gardeners are trained volunteers from all walks of life who share objective research-based knowledge on all aspects of home horticulture with county residents after receiving 50 hours of training from University of California academics and external practitioners.
The main priorities of the San Bernardino County Master Gardener program are:
- Sustainable Landscapes that conserve water, recycle greenwaste, nurture soil, use integrated pest management principles stressing prevention to ward off pests and weeds, are energy-efficient, and attract appropriate wildlife.
- Food Production (backyard, community, and school gardens grown pesticide-free)
- Healthy Communities that connect our growing urban population with natural environments that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
- Master Gardeners also provide information in other areas of home horticulture and community greening.
