UC Master Gardeners of Solano County
Welcome to UC Master Gardeners of Solano County
As part of the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources division, we are committed to helping Solano County grow through research-based education and community engagement. Our dedicated Master Gardener volunteers contribute in many ways: staffing informational tables at local farmers markets, writing our public gardening newsletter Rooted in Solano, and maintaining demonstration gardens—like the Pollinator Garden at our office—to showcase sustainable practices. We tailor our outreach to meet the needs of Solano County’s diverse landscapes and communities. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned gardener, we are here to support your journey. Join us in cultivating a more sustainable, beautiful, and bountiful Solano County.
