About Healthy Garden-Healthy Home

The Healthy Garden, Healthy Home program gives the residents of San Diego County the opportunity to improve our water resources. As part of this effort, a team of 25 UCCE San Diego County Master Gardeners have undergone extensive in-depth Integrated Pest Management (IPM) training in order to provide outreach to the San Diego Community.
