If you love gardening and teaching others, you may be interested in applying to become a UC Master Gardener trainee! UC Cooperative Extension in Stanislaus County is now accepting applications for the 2024 Training Program.
Last year, the UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardener Lavender Committee put on a lovely workshop. Participants: Explored the history of lavender and its uses. Learned about different types of lavender and how to grow them.
In April I visited Pismo State Beach's Monarch Butterfly Grove. I knew there wouldn't be any western monarchs who overwintered remaining there (though I saw three flying around!), since they left a few weeks prior to begin their annual migration north.
