Completed: Reappointment 2024!

By Dawn Kooyumjian

We have 236 UC Master Gardener volunteers who have completed reappointment for 2024-25. Thank you for supporting the program as we enter a new and exciting UC Master Gardener year. You are the ones who make all the excellent work happen!

I want to send a huge thank you to Nanette Hefferman and Molly Wendt, our incredible reappointment wizzes! They are meticulous in sending reminders and following up with those who may need additional support. Reappointment wouldn’t happen as smoothly as it did without Nanette’s and Molly’s tireless work – thank you!

Every year, we bid a fond farewell to some of our UC Master Gardeners who choose not to reappoint. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to each of them, including:
