It's Giving Tuesday, and we hope you will consider making a gift to our program. Last week we highlighted the exciting demonstration gardens our Master Gardeners are planning. Today is the day we are raising funds to make them possible! 

How You Can Help

We appreciate any amount you can give. Credit card donations will be matched if we meet the qualifications below:

  • $500 to the twenty groups with the most first time donors
  • $500 to the first 10 funds that secure a $500 + donation
  • $500 to the ten groups that raise the most funds

Only gifts made by online/credit card donations on the day of the event qualify for the prizes. 

Please donate today!

When will you begin creating the gardens?

We plan to begin working on one of the gardens in spring, and will keep you posted on our progress through this blog as well as our Facebook, Instagram and twitter accounts (@UCMGStanislaus). Our Sensory and Pollinator Gardens will be open to everyone to visit, and used during classes and workshops on drip irrigation, low water use plants, pollinator plants, and more!
