The UC Master Gardener Program of Sonoma County has embarked on a new long-term partnership with Bayer Farm in Roseland in Santa Rosa.  Teams of two Master Gardener Food Gardening Specialists will be at the garden one day per week sharing and learning knowledge about organic food gardening practices with the wonderful community gardeners at Bayer Farm. 

This is a new model for how the Master Gardeners engage as we hope to share knowledge mutually and learn from each other.  In fact during the first work day that we participated in, the Master Gardeners helped pull dandelion weeds and learned that they can be used for medicinal purposes!
