The primary purpose of the UC Master Gardener program is to provide the
public with research-based information about home horticulture and pest
management that has been verified by UC experts. We do this through
many volunteer activities, including our free MG Helpline. The Helpline
enables anyone with a home gardening question or problem to contact a
Master Gardener directly by phone or email. You can reach a Master
Gardener at the Riverside Helpline by calling 951 683 6491, ext. 231,
Monday-Friday from 9:00 am to noon. Email questions can be sent to the
Riverside Helpline at [email protected] or to the Desert area
Helpline at [email protected]. Including pictures of your issue is
helpful. A Master Gardener will respond to your email within a few days.
We look forward to hearing from you!
