The Stanislaus Sprout

This Giving Tuesday, we raised $600 for our program! Thank you to those who were able to give. We understand that not everyone is able to make a monetary contribution.

Being a UC Master Gardener has had a huge impact on my life. I love learning new things, discovering how nature works, teaching others, and giving back. When I retired, I looked for ways to continue to gain new knowledge and contribute to my community.

In 2024 our UC Master Gardener volunteers helped over 100 people answer gardening and pest management questions like these: I moved here from Ohio, and I don't know what to plant.

Many of us enjoy using herbs in our kitchen since they add so much flavor and texture to our food. And it is even more fun when we grow them ourselves and can pick them straight from the garden.

My cold season garden is planted with plenty of broccoli and cauliflower. Last week I noticed holes chewed in the leaves. I looked underneath and sure enough, I have cabbage loopers.
