Master Gardeners volunteer about 20,000 hours each year to gardening programs around Ventura County.  These programs include everything from hosting garden-based field trips for school children and building community gardens, to assisting with agricultural research.  Here are a few examples:

- Staffing Master Gardener Help Desk.  Master Gardeners provide help with common garden problems. Email mgventura@ucdavis.edu with your questions and images.


- Giving gardening talks and presentations

- Supporting applied research projects for UCCE advisors

- Hosting gardening workshops for home gardeners

- Supporting the Ventura County Fair

- Answering gardener questions at community events and workshops

- Maintaining Master Gardener approved garden sites

We don’t make home visits, design or install your home garden, or make on-site diagnoses.  However, when it involves gardening, contact us.  Maybe we can suggest other organizations that may be helpful.
