The Master Gardener Associatio­n of San Diego County is a nonprofit organizati­on, and 85 percent of all proceeds support educationa­l outreach services including community, school and demonstrat­ion gardens and specific programs to help change the way San Diego gardens. A free gardening hotline staffed by Master Gardeners is available at (858) 822-6910.

The University of California Master Gardener Program extends to the public research-based informatio­n about home horticultu­re and pest management. Master Gardeners are selected and trained by the University of California Cooperativ­e Extension (UCCE) to volunteer in the community, educating home gardeners on tested gardening methods. The UCCE San Diego County Master Gardener Program was formed in 1983 and has over 350 active volunteers who donate thousands of volunteer hours to the community each year.
