April is National Volunteer Month, and it's the perfect time to recognize and appreciate the outstanding service of UC Master Gardener volunteers across California. UC Master Gardeners generously donate their time and expertise to make a significant impact in their communities.
UC Master Gardener volunteers are the heart of our program, providing invaluable service by sharing research-based horticultural information, engaging in sustainable landscape practices, and fostering a love for gardening in their communities.
In honor of National Volunteer Month and volunteer week (April 16-22), we will be highlighting the exceptional contributions of several Gardeners with Heart on our statewide blog and social media channels.
Each week, we'll share new stories of Gardeners with Heart, showcasing the impact they make every day in their communities. You'll read about volunteers who have spearheaded community garden projects, developed educational programs for school gardens, and created accessible gardening experiences and spaces for people with disabilities. These remarkable UC Master Gardener volunteers have gone above and beyond in their service, demonstrating passion, leadership, and innovation and their efforts have left a mark and have inspired countless others to get involved.
We invite you to join us in celebrating these extraordinary volunteers by following our blog and social media channel, where we will share stories of Gardeners with Heart and how they're making a difference. In addition to these inspiring stories, we encourage you to take the opportunity this month to thank the UC Master Gardener volunteers in your life. Whether it's a family member, friend, or neighbor, your appreciation for their hard work and dedication will undoubtedly mean a great deal to them.
