San Bernardino

This month's UCCE San Bernardino County Master Gardener Spotlight is on volunteer Carolyn Paul. Since I first met Carolyn, when she went through the program in 2019, it was clear that she looked at gardening and all its benefits with a holistic view.

FoodCorps has held a special place in my heart ever since I served as a FoodCorps service member at Phelan Elementary during the 2019-2020 school year. It was hard work and also immensely rewarding to connect kids with healthy food and share the joy of gardening.

Five groups of parents participated in a series of workshops from the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), Master Gardener (MG) and Master Food Preserver (MFP) Programs. The series was part of a grant for the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SAREP).

Emy joined our UCCE San Bernardino County Master Gardener team during our first online training ever in 2020. She jumped right in and was excited to learn all about gardening and to share her passion for gardening with her peers.

Summers in most parts of San Bernardino County are hot, dry, windy, and sometimes extra challenging due to fires. Add on the layer of continued drought and water restrictions, and it can seem almost impossible to get a fruit or veggie crop to grow.

In April, I attended the Growing School Gardens Summit in Denver, Colorado, thanks to support from UCCE San Bernardino.

This month's UCCE San Bernardino County Master Gardener Spotlight is on Dee Denton.

Ever since Senate Bill 1383 took effect earlier this year, local governments and organizations across California have been scrambling to develop strategies to recycle organic waste. Schools are no exception.

UCCE Master Gardener Roxana Price had been a supporter of the UCCE Master Gardener program for many years, but it wasn't until fall of 2020 that she finally decided to join our program.
