Ever Thought About Becoming a Master Gardener? Join Our Team of Volunteers

Oct 24, 2024

Our next Master Gardener training will take place January–May 2025.

If you like gardening, are interested in science-based horticulture, have a volunteer spirit, and would enjoy sharing your knowledge with the public, then this may be for you! UC Master Gardeners are trained in horticulture and use their training to give talks and classes, answer help desk questions, work in local demonstration gardens, answer questions at events, and so much more.

We welcome applicants from all walks of life with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
