Why Work With Us?
The UC Master Gardener Program is more than just gardening help. We are trained community educators, part of the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources system. By volunteering thousands of hours each year, Master Gardeners empower residents to garden successfully, conserve water, protect pollinators, and create landscapes that thrive in the Eastern Sierra.
Together, we grow knowledge, grow gardens, and grow communities.
