Questions from Commercial Businesses
Per the UCCE Master Gardener program administrative handbook, the "Master Gardener Program is an educational program designed to teach and effectively extend information to address home gardening and non-commercial horticulture needs in California." We do not answer questions from commercial businesses. Business workers can inform their clients and encourage them to submit questions directly.
UC provides resources for businesses including:
- Integrated Pest Management
- UC ANR Center for Landscape and Urban
- UC ANR Nursery and Floriculture Alliance
