The UCCE Amador County Master Gardeners offer free public education classes on a variety of topics throughout the year. Master Gardeners with specific areas of interest and expertise generously give of their time to prepare and present the classes in a practical, interesting way. Whether showing how to prune fruit trees, sharing how to manage pesky critters, or demonstrating how to plant in containers, the UCCE Master Gardeners have a class for everyone.

Dates and times of upcoming classes can be seen on the UCCE Amador County main page calendar. Most classes are held on Saturday mornings.

Some topics covered in 2007 were: Rose Pruning, Fruit Tree pruning, grafting and budding, garden irrigation systems, seed starting for kitchen gardens, how to make hypertufa containers, window box construction, container planting, and growing tomatoes and peppers. If you missed any of these classes, check out our calendar periodically!-many classes are repeated each year.
