Stanislaus

The UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardener Program offered a timely online class on how to save water in your garden and home. It included science-based information climate change, where our fresh water comes from and how we can be more sustainable in our water use.

Are you interested in helping others and giving back to your community? Do you have a passion for gardening and volunteering? The UCCE Stanislaus County* Master Gardener Program is now accepting applications for 2022.

Every year, Pollinator Partnership celebrates National Pollinator Week, which helps spread the word about pollinators and how to protect them.

We hope to "see" you at our Zoom class, Water-Wise Tips for the Garden and Home! Learn about where our water comes from, how it's used, and how you can save from our UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardeners. Where: On Zoom. You will receive a link the morning of the class.

On June 4, UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardeners hosted BigDigDay, a day of giving to ask the community to support the programs they care about.

I love rainy days. . .I love the pitter-patter sound of it, the smell of wet dirt, and fresh air. Rain nourishes our gardens, turns into snow in the Sierra Mountains (which in turn eventually melts and flows into our rivers), and provides balm for our spirits.

Today is the final push to promote our campaign to raise funds for the Learning Landscape! Last year we raised a little over $2,000 for the project thanks to our generous donors. Now we'd like to add to that amount to fund two specific gardens.

Amid all the COVID-19 restrictions, the UCCE Master Gardeners of Stanislaus County have been hard at work bringing our Learning Landscape' to life at the Stanislaus County Agricultural Center, located at 3800 Cornucopia Way in Modesto.

General outlook A few 100+ F daily maximum temperatures and warm nights will give thrips development a little boost over the next week. A gradual return to low-to-mid 90's highs is expected from now until second week of June.

On June 4, 2021 we are hosting #BigDigDay, 24-hours to show support to our program and help us raise funds for our Learning Landscape. Join us and #giveback to support the UC Master Gardener Program. Our goal is to raise $3,000 towards our future Learning Landscape theme gardens.
