It's #Giving Tuesday! Have you gained knowledge as a result from meeting our UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners at a library class, outdoor event, or while visiting one of gardens? If so, we hope you will consider making a donation to our program.

The colors of autumn are especially beautiful this year. Tree leaves are turning brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and even purple. Read about the trees you've noticed around town that are currently popping with color.

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, November 28, 2023! Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for you to make a donation to a program that has made a difference in your life. We invite you to support us in our quest to promote healthier gardens, people, and more sustainable landscapes.

The holidays are upon us, and what better time to celebrate the beauty of nature. Join the UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners of Stanislaus County in learning how to create your own natural wreath. Sip on some hot apple cider while you learn, and enjoy making a personalized wreath.

Nature has a way of showing beauty even when plants are dying back or going dormant during fall and winter. To capitalize on this beauty, we invite you to create a holiday wreath made entirely from the natural beauty found all around us.

October is tarantula season in the foothills! Male tarantulas of the species Aphonopelma iodius are currently on the move, leaving their underground burrows, in search of a willing female to mate with.
