The "Sprouting Kit" is a collection of tools, links and brief articles explaining some of the common questions or training needs for a new-in-role program coordinator. We hope you find this resource helpful as you start your career with the UC Master Gardener Program.
If you haven't done so already, please contact the statewide office to schedule a comprehensive training session and grant admin access to appropriate resources.
