UC Merced Extension is proud to partner with the UC Cooperative Extension, to bring you the Merced County Master Gardener Program. Together, UC Cooperative Extension and the Merced County Gardner Program, seek to be the preferred source of research-based information on gardening, landscape and resource conservation for the residents of Merced County.
