Our Master Gardener volunteers are working hard to meet vital needs in SLO County. We're planting and maintaining the vegetable beds and the fruit orchard in our Demonstration Garden so we can continue to donate fresh produce to the SLO Food Bank and local food pantries. In 2019 we donated over a 1,000 lbs from our garden. Now, demand for food from the Food Bank has nearly tripled.
