Our partnership with Stanislaus County Library continues! The librarians have been so helpful and welcoming, and attendees are saying great things about our Master Gardener instructors. 

Fall Vegetable Gardening?

Even though your tomatoes are probably still going strong, now is the time to start planning for your fall vegetable garden! This month we have added the Patterson Library to our schedule. They specifically requested Water Thrifty Gardening, so next month we will offer Fall Vegetable Gardening at their location.
