Important Announcement

Hello Gardening Friends,

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in consideration of the recent guidance from Governor Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the UC Master Gardeners of Monterey & Santa Cruz Counties are canceling all of our upcoming classes and events.

This cancellation will remain in effect through April 30, 2020, and will be updated as guidance from the state changes.

We realize our classes & events are valued by our community, & we appreciate your continued support & understanding during this public health challenge. We will attempt to offer our canceled classes at a future time, and in the interim, we will post instructional gardening videos on our Facebook page.

In the meantime, enjoy the wildflowers and blossoms on fruit trees, and please stay safe by following recommended health practices in the coming weeks.
