Our mission as University of California Master Gardener volunteers is to extend research-based sustainable gardening and composting information to the public through various educational outreach methods. We strive to present accurate, impartial information to local gardeners so they have the knowledge to make informed gardening decisions in regard to plant choices, soil fertility, pest management, irrigation practices, and more.
Below is a collection of resources just for the home gardener from the UC Master Gardeners of Placer County and other external resources.

- Composting Information
