Our dedicated group of trainees began an intensive learning program in January, meeting each week for 4 ½ hours. They heard form expert speakers from University of California on topics including soils, water management, ornamental plants, drought tolerant plants, turf management, landscape tree care, integrated pest management, weed identification and management, fruit and nut tree care, vegetable gardening, and so much more!
During the classes, we had hands-on learning activities, plenty of time for questions, all while enjoying delicious potluck food. Everything was going smoothly. In mid-March, we learned that due to COVID-19, we could no longer meet in person. Several UCCE Master Gardener Programs across the state canceled their trainings.
We are so proud of this new group of 31 Master Gardeners who have joined our 2019 class to make a total of 55 UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardeners! Although they cannot be out in the community just yet, we are finding opportunities for them to share their knowledge through Zoom, our help line, and other projects.
Will there be a 2021 Master Gardener Class?
We know that many of you are disappointed. We feel this way as well. If you are interested in the next program, and haven't signed up yet, please fill out this survey at https://ucanr.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=28350
We will contact you when it is time to start recruiting for our next class.

Our program had a fantastic spring schedule of classes and events planned. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 concerns, they've been canceled or postponed. Gardeners are innovative people by nature, so we won't let this stop us! We plan on bringing programs to you virtually.
Library Gardening Series
Our first Stanislaus County Library Partnership Series: Container Vegetable Gardening was held at the Riverbank branch in early March. We can't offer this class right now at the other branches, so we are going virtual! Our plan is to hold a Zoom webinar featuring Master Gardener Rho Yare. It will include online vegetable gardening book recommendations from the Stanislaus County Library.
What is Zoom?
Zoom is a service that allows presenters to hold meetings or give online seminars. If you have a computer, visit https://zoom.us/download and choose ”Zoom Client for Meetings.” Next, open the download to install it. Zoom is also available as a free app for your tablet or smart phone.
Once you have Zoom installed, enter your name and create and password. Having Zoom means you can video chat with your friends free for 40 minutes. Our organization subscribes to Zoom, so we can offer online presentations that everyone can join or listen to later.
Class Sign Ups
A week before the class, we will post an announcement about our upcoming webinar on The Stanislaus Sprout. Just before it starts, click on the link to join. You will be able to see the presenter and their slides. You won't be able to talk during the class, but you can type your questions into the chat feature located on the bottom of the screen.
What if I can't/don't want to use Zoom?
No problem! After the class, we will import the video on our soon-to-be-created Youtube Channel. We will make an announcement when it's ready.
We hope this email finds our Stanislaus County gardening friends staying healthy and sheltering/gardening in place as much as possible.
