The Statewide Master Gardener Program has just completed the production of three new posters you can use in your educational outreach program. They include
1. Food Safety in Your Home Vegetable Garden
2. Winter Pest Management
3. Inspect your Trees for Hazards
Both of these posters are free and can be downloaded from http://camastergardeners.ucdavis.edu
They include a Tip Sheet, which is packed full of more information and a Resources Guide. They will soon also be translated into Spanish.
These posters are a great help in demonstrating key points to your audiences.
We would like to announce that the both the Spanish and English Versions of Landscaping Tips to Help Defend your Home from Wildfire Poster, Tip Sheet and Resources Sheet are available on the Statewide Master Gardener Website under Volunteer Resources/ Poster Project.
The English versions have been updated and the Spanish versions are brand new. We would like to give special thanks to MG Coordinator Andrew Kramer, Amador County and Myriam Grajales-Hall, Program Manager for News & Information Outreach in Spanish for the translations.
These outreach posters were funded by a grant from the Elvenia J. Slosson Endowment for Environmental Horticulture.
