The Gardening Education Center (GEC) is a dynamic, experimental garden where UC Master Gardeners employ environmentally sound, water-wise methods to propagate and grow a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, pollinator plants and cover crops throughout the year. The GEC features a range of growing spaces including raised beds, green houses and in-ground plots as well as a large Johnson-Su Bioreactor composting system. Stop by anytime between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm to see what's growing in the garden, learn a few gardening techniques and meet the Master Gardeners who tend the garden.

Directions and parking: The garden is located next to the Jockey Club on 2495 S. Delaware Street. To find the garden, enter the parking lot from Delaware Street. Drive immediately to the left where you will see a green lawn and a large eucalyptus tree. Please do not go to the San Mateo County Event Center paid parking lot on Saratoga Drive.

Registration is not required.
