Y* S*

Hi to All Gardeners in Los Angeles County--

The next Master Gardener Volunteer Training Course is open to all Los 
Angeles County residents who want to volunteer helping low-income and 
limited-resource residents grow more of their own food.  Presented by the 
University of California Cooperative Extension Common Ground Garden 
Program, the training provides basic horticulture information, hands-on 
activities, and volunteer opportunities all over LA County.

The course will be held on Saturdays, April 27-June 29, 9:30am-3:00pm, in 
downtown LA (easy access by bus and Metro).

Cost is $50; however, partial scholarships are available.

By May 31, 2003, participants must complete a minimum of 50 hours Volunteer 
Time and 12 hours Continuing Education time (monthly meetings are the 2nd 
Saturday of every month).

For application or further information, call 323-838-4539 or email 
<gjmitche@ucdavis.edu> (our office is located in Monterey Park, but our 
email addresses are through the server at UC Davis).

NOTE:  Deadline for completed applications and payment:  April 15.
