April is Garden Month!

UCCE Ventura County is celebrating Garden Month by expanding gardening outreach and education. Gardening is great exercise and can be a lot of fun.

Ornamental plants and trees add beauty to our communities. Food gardens can also be a source of beauty while providing fresh and highly nutritious food. Whatever type of gardening you enjoy, we are here to help.

• The homepage of our website currently features resources for the home gardener.
• UC Master Gardeners have many garden classes scheduled
• Our office has a display, stocked with many gardening resources, at the Ventura County Government Center Hall of Administration through the end of April. Master Gardeners will be available at the display Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm to answer questions. 
• The Master Gardener helpline is staffed from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays to answer your questions. You may see them in person at 669 County Square Drive, Suite 100 in Ventura. You can also call them at 805-645-1455 or email them at mgventura@ucdavis.edu.

Happy Gardening!
