Gardening Publications

Thank you for visiting our publication page. We are currently working on updating it. Previously, these publications could be downloaded as a PDF, but our new website setup doesn't allow that. We are happy to email or "snail mail" them to you. 

  • Request a copy by email: write to us at ucmgs@ucanr.edu and include the title or titles of the publication/s you'd like, and we will attach them to you in a return email.
  • Request a copy by USPS:  Leave us a message at (209) 525-6802, saying that you are requesting a copy or copies of publications, then tell us the title/s. Please say (and spell) your first and last name, and give us your home address, including city and  zip code and we will send it to you in the mail. *Note: titles with an * are too large to mail, but you can request them to be ready for you to pick up a copy at our office.

    Thanks for your patience - UC Master Gardener volunteers, UC Cooperative Extension, Stanislaus County
