Master Gardener Program
The Master Gardener Program is a volunteer service organization sponsored by the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE). The purpose of the program is to teach people in the community about home horticulture and to extend research-based information produced by the University of California to the home gardener. Therefore, the role of the Master Gardener is primarily that of "educator."

In Memory of Dr. LeRoy Davis
It is with deepest regret that we say good bye to our friend and fellow gardener, Dr. LeRoy Davis. LeRoy graduated from the 2009 Master Gardener Training class, following a long career in Agriculture Business at Cal Poly. For the past two years, LeRoy was the editor of our weekly gardening column in the Tribune. His enthusiasm and dedication will be greatly missed. An online guest book is available to send memories and condolences to the family.
In his memory, his family has requested that donations be made in his name to "UC Regents", to support the UC Master Gardener Program in San Luis Obispo. Contributions made in honor of LeRoy can be sent to 2156 Sierra Way, Suite C, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. Please include "in honor of LeRoy Davis" on your check.
