April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month. We have twenty-five active Master Gardeners in our Program. We volunteer many hours each month to support the mission of the UC Master Gardener Program.

“Our mission is simple: To extend research-based knowledge and information on home horticulture, pest management, and sustainable landscape practices to the residents of California." 

You can find us at local seed and plant exchanges, working and providing information at local demonstration gardens, like the Trinidad Native Garden, Humboldt Botanical Garden, and the Annie B. Ryan House and Garden, “Ask a Master Gardener” tables at the Farmer's Market, offering presentations, answering your Help Desk questions, writing articles for the Coastal Gardener Newsletter, volunteering at school gardens and more. 

There are over 6,000 Master Gardeners throughout California. Master Gardeners receive extensive training from the University of California to provide research-based information to the public. In exchange for training, we volunteer in our communities, continue to learn, utilize our skills and interests, and grow. 

Would you like to volunteer, need advice, and learn about sustainable gardening practices? Visit the UC Master Gardeners of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties.
