YUBA CITY, CA — The UC Master Gardener Program of Sutter-Yuba Counties is now accepting applications for its 2026 Training Program. Applications open August 1, 2025, and close October 3, 2025.

The UC Master Gardener Program trains volunteers in research-based gardening knowledge to share with the community. Through community events, the Learning Garden, and the UC Cooperative Extension Help Desk, volunteers provide education on home gardening, pest management, and sustainable landscaping practices.
