With the continued group size restrictions, social distancing and general uncertainty, some counties have adopted a hybrid UC Master Gardener training.  There are currently 10 trainee-focused recordings and 25 continuing education opportunities located on Extension Campus to be used as needed to help build your master gardener training program or as an offering as continuing education. Recordings, online resources, and quizzes for volunteers will continue to be posted in the course as they are submitted.
