The Master Gardener Association of San Diego County has been a steady presence for four decades, helping local residents learn about home gardening, landscaping and pest management
Has it been 40 years? The time went by so fast. 1983! That year, Michael Jackson was extolling the charms of Billie Jean; somewhere in a galaxy far, far away, the Jedi were returning; and the Jeffersons were moving on up.
Carol Graham, a charter member of the association, sets up the Ask-A-Master Gardener booth at the San Diego County Fair. “Horticulture and pest management” are still fundamentals of the Master Gardener program. However, expansion of the organization’s public outreach efforts over the past 40 years mirrors the changing times. We now reach into every part of our community with specialized committees and events:We provide lessons and advice for campus growing areas to more than 300 schools.We assist individuals with sensory, physical or age-related limitations in building fully accessible gardens.
Our free Master Gardener volunteer-staffed hotline provides quick research-based answers to residents’ gardening questions.Master Gardeners share ideas with the public through many platforms, including portable exhibits.
