San Bernardino County Programs

Do you love gardening and want to help others 'green' their brown thumbs? Become a UC Master Gardener!

We will be conducting the complete 2020/2021 UC Cooperative Extension San Bernardino County Master Gardener class online via Zoom. While originally scheduled to be taught live at the Chino Basin Water Conservation District in Montclair, due to COVID-19 concerns, we are converting learning modules into live and interactive Zoom meetings enhanced by outdoor assignments and activities that can be done at home. Classes are on Saturday mornings from 9:00am- 12:30pm October 3, 2020 through March 6, 2021 (no classes on October 31, November 28, December 26, and January 2). Graduation requirements include attending class regularly, passing open book midterm and final exams, and co-presenting a 15-minute talk to your classmates on a horticulture topic of your group's choice. Please note that the goal of the program is to extend credible, objective gardening and landscaping information to the public and that each accepted applicant is required to volunteer a minimum of 50 hours back into the program by June 30, 2022. While the information provided will surely improve your personal gardening skills, outreach into the community is the major goal of the program. Note: All potential applicants must attend a Zoom information session (listed on the Zoom class list in this newsletter) that explains the program’s mission, goals, and requirements before becoming eligible to apply. It’s a great opportunity to get your specific questions about the program asked, as well!
