On June 5, the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Stanislaus County Master Gardener Program hosted an online giving event called #BigDigDay. This was an opportunity for community members to invest in our new local program.
Together, we raised a total of $630! These funds will go towards helping us purchase needed items like a pop-up-tent, tables, chairs, brochure holders, and other materials needed for outdoor events, workshops, and classes.
Our twenty-three brand new UCCE Master Gardener volunteers will soon (July) be out in the community! Please stop by and say “hello” if you see them at the Stanislaus County Fair, a local farmers market, local nursery, or local library.
If you are interested in becoming a UCCE Master Gardener, visit our website and fill out our online interest survey. We will be recruiting for our next class soon!
If you missed out on #BigDigDay, you don't have to wait until next year to give to our program. Visit the UC Cooperative Extension website for Stanislaus County at https://donate.ucanr.edu/pages/uccestanislaus and choose “UCCE Stanislaus County - Master Gardener Fund” from the designation heading.
