That's where UCCE comes in, with more than a dozen annual gardening courses offered by the San Diego County Master Gardeners Association.
Bee Garden Friendly's Spring 2023 Virtual Workshop has easy access to the recorded workshops available for viewing from April 19 to May 3.
This year's theme focuses on good gardening practices and brings together local and national experts covering topics ranging from growing food and flowers to pest control, lighting your landscape and photography.
The $35 registration fee includes 14 seminar recordings that can be viewed for 15 days and can be viewed multiple times. Registration from March 1 is open at mastergardenersd.org/seminar. Last year, more than 1,000 experienced and aspiring gardeners had access to the entire range of workshops.
Class of 2023 includes:

The University of California Master Gardener Program expands on public research-based information about home gardening and pest control. Master Gardeners are selected and trained by the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) to volunteer in the community and teach home gardeners through proven gardening practices. Founded in 1983, the UCCE San Diego County Master Gardener Program has more than 350 active volunteers who contribute thousands of volunteer hours to the community.
