What is a Master Gardener School Garden Consultant?

Master Gardeners trained by the University of California Cooperative Extension are volunteers who provide information on home gardening and pest management to county residents. Some Master Gardeners promote garden-based learning by serving as school garden consultants. The consultant’s role is to mentor teachers and parents who request help with beginning or improving their school gardens. All Master Gardeners have been finger-printed and have passed background screening by the California Department of Justice.
