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. Our first two themes are:

• Sensory Garden
• Pollinator Garden

About the Gardens

The Sensory and Pollinator Gardens will be located at the Ag Center on 3800 Cornucopia Way near the Stanislaus Building and serve as an outdoor classroom where we will offer future classes. It will also be a place for visitors to observe plants and their care in the landscape. The plants will have signs so you can snap a photo and remember what to get on your next trip to a nursery or garden center. The gardens will be maintained by Master Gardener volunteers.

The Sensory Garden

Our group of volunteers who designed this garden see it as a space for plants that soothe the senses and help you relax. Plants you can see, touch, smell, or even hear.

The Pollinator Garden

The volunteers designing this garden want to create a paradise for bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, beetles, and other pollinators.

We need your help!

Help us raise the funds to create these gardens by contributing! Follow us on social media for updates and stay tuned for another blog post with giving information. Please help by telling your friends, family, and anyone you know who may want to donate to make these gardens happen. 

The #BigDigDay site is counting down the time until June 4 when you can give credit card donations. If you'd like to donate with a check, please make it out to UC Regents and send it to the Master Gardener Program, 3800 Cornucopia Way Ste A, Modesto 95358.
