Looking for Our Spring Garden Faire?
Due to a full Maidu Community Center calendar, we are moving our Garden Faire to a new fall date, September 12.
Master Gardeners of Placer County strive to present accurate, impartial information to local gardeners, so they have the knowledge to make informed gardening decisions in regard to plant choices, soil fertility, pest management, irrigation practices, and more.
Bring your questions to our booth at the Farmer’s Market, attend a workshop, or visit our demonstration garden. See our Events Calendar to find out what’s going on now and in coming months in Placer County (printable list).
Our free gardening newsletter features articles written by our local Master Gardeners for Placer and Nevada County home gardeners.
Our beautiful waterwise garden showcases California natives, pollinators, and edible plants. The garden is a living classroom that emphasizes sustainable gardening, integrated pest management and backyard food production.
