The UC Master Gardener program trains volunteers to provide information, workshops, and programs for home gardeners. Public information resources offered by Master Gardeners include plant, pest and problem identification, compost production, and cultural practices for growing vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants.

The Master Gardener Program of Santa Barbara County is co-sponsored by the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (SBBG).
