UC Master Gardener Presenters

• Kathy Fleming: Kathy loves creating a balance at her Peninsula home by growing culinary herbs and flowers in containers and her perennial landscape. She uses the herbs and edible flowers in many recipes, either fresh and/or dried, and loves sharing them with friends and neighbors. Kathy has been a Master Gardener since 2006 and has always enjoyed speaking and sharing ideas about this passion.
• Cindi Morris: As a child, Cindi visited Ferry Morse Seed Company where her father worked. She loved peeking into the labs and seeing all the experiments. The best part was picking out some seed packets to take home to grow. She was amazed that you could plant a small seed and it would grow into a wonderful flower. She graduated from San Francisco State and has taken many horticulture classes from different schools. She has worked as an interior plantscaper at a large florist company. As a UC Master Gardener volunteer, she was the tomato growing lead and participates in the annual Spring Garden Market every year. She currently maintains a herb garden in the San Carlos Library garden and leads the San Mateo Arboretum plant clinic each month.
