A story in the Colusa County Sun-Herald does such a great job chronicling the local UC Master Gardener program, I'm sure we couldn't have written a finer account ourselves.
Reporter Susan Meeker does make one common mischaracterization, calling it the "University of California Davis, Cooperative Extension Master Gardener program," but she goes on to capture the most important aspects of UC's volunteer garden information extension organization in a 400-word article published yesterday.
"We're not experts," the story quoted program coordinator Gerry Hernandez, "but we have the university and all of its research behind us."
The article details the Master Gardener training and activities and notes that all of the volunteers' efforts have an emphasis on sustainability and protecting the environment.
