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.
