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 anrmgriverside@ucanr.edu or to the Desert area

Helpline at anrmgindio@ucanr.edu. 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!
