Who Are Master Gardeners and What Do They Do?

 

WHO ARE THE ALAMEDA COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS?
ACMG Fair Booth 2009
The Alameda County Master Gardener Program works to serve the diverse communities within Alameda County.  Master Gardeners are people of all ages from all walks of life who want to give back to their communities. We volunteer our time to help people learn about gardening.

As trained agents of the University of California, through the University of California Cooperative Extension, our purpose is to extend research based knowledge and information on home gardening issues to the residents of Alameda County.
