University of California's Cooperative Extension in Ventura County has opened a training opportunity and will accept up to 40 new applicants to become master gardeners. Master gardeners develop expertise and use their knowledge to educate the public. Master gardeners also have great social gatherings centered on food more delicious than is available from any restaurant, as I found out when my wife was a master gardener. She brought me to some of their potluck events featuring homegrown and home-cooked delicacies made from the freshest possible ingredients, including produce picked only hours before and delicate varieties that could never survive the packing, shipping and storage requirements of markets.
