The Stanislaus Sprout

We hope you can join us Tuesday night at 6 p.m. for our Native Pollinator Gardening class. If you signed up, you should have received two emails. A confirmation email, and a second email with the Zoom Webinar Link and password. If you didn't receive an email from ucmgstanislaus@ucanr.

Spring is in full force and that means many plants are blooming and insects are buzzing about! If you've been spending more time in your garden or out in nature you may be curious about the pollinators you see.

Although we can't see you at the local Farmers Market, our Harvest Hall location, or meet with you at the Stanislaus County Fair this year, we want you to know that we have an online presence and are still offering free classes! Spring Container Vegetable Gardening Class-available now! Thanks to tho...

We are excited to announce the UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardener Program has started a YouTube Channel! Our goal is to bring you FREE gardening programming asked for by members of the community. Our first video, Spring Container Vegetable Gardening was just posted.

During this time sheltering in place, I've had more time to be in the garden weeding. This got me thinking, what exactly is a weed? The Master Garden handbook defines a weed as a plant growing where it is not wanted.
