About the UC Master Gardeners

The UC Master Gardener Volunteer Program is a public service and outreach program under the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources department, administered locally by participating UC Cooperative Extension County offices.  Our mission is to extend research-based knowledge and information on home horticulture, pest management and sustainable landscape practices to county residents by teaching workshops, hosting plant clinics, managing impactful projects, running demonstration gardens, and answering individual questions received via our Helpline. 

Cindy Burgdorf has been a Master Gardener for 16 years. She has been gardening for over 70 years (she started with cherry tomatoes in her Grandmother’s garden). On her 1 ½ acre property she has year-round vegetable gardens, gardens devoted to bees and butterflies, six bee hives, ten chickens, a worm bin and six compost bins. Her yard is a Monarch Waystation (Monarch Watch), a certified Butterfly Garden (NABA), certified WildLife Habitat (NWF) and certified Bee Friendly Garden (Pollinator
