The Stanislaus Sprout

We've had quite a few sign ups for our free online class for Wednesday, April 15, 2020! We hope to "see" more of you online to hear Rho Yare present on everything you need to know to get started growing spring vegetables in containers.

It would be safe to say that tomatoes are the most popular home-grown vegetable. Any garden department or nursery this time of the year has a huge array of varieties. You can become positively confused with numerous names, sizes, and descriptions.

The Stanislaus County UCCE Master Gardeners are excited to bring you a free online class on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. PST! Rho Yare will teach you everything you need to know about growing spring vegetables in containers.

If you're looking for an outdoor activity, take a stroll through the La Loma Native Garden at 1805 Encina Avenue in Modesto. This two-acre area is ablaze with color right now, with many blooming wildflowers of different hues.

Our program had a fantastic spring schedule of classes and events planned. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 concerns, they've been canceled or postponed. Gardeners are innovative people by nature, so we won't let this stop us! We plan on bringing programs to you virtually.
