Saturday, March 18, 2023 Events

Hope to see you at one of these events happening this weekend, Saturday, March 18, 2023. 

Modesto Farmers Market 

Look for our booth at the Modesto Farmers Market, located behind the Modesto Stanislaus County Library branch on 1522 ‘H' Street. Stop by and pick up some free seeds, say "hi" and ask your gardening questions. We have handouts on vegetable gardening, water wise gardening, and lots of tips for what to do about pests. The market starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 1:00 p.m. Make a morning of it, pick up some fresh fruits and vegetables, eat lunch, enjoy the music, and see what else the market has to offer. If you haven't been, you are in for a treat!

Turlock Community Gardens Workshop-Plant Swap-Potluck Palooza 

Turlock Community Gardens invites you to stop in for a visit or for the day, activities for all ages are happening.   

UCCE Master Gardener Composting Basics Workshop  9:00am-10:30am 
Learn about how to compost at home! Reduce your carbon footprint & recycle kitchen/garden scraps. This workshop is a great opportunity to hear from an expert and ask questions, plus one lucky person is going home with their own compost bin!

Turlock Community Gardens Plant Swap
11:00am-11:30am
Let's share cuttings, rooted plants, extra gardening supplies, seeds and any tips and tricks to help out our fellow plant enthusiasts! We will be doing a round robin with wristbands. If you don't have anything to bring, you are still welcome to take items home. There is always more than enough to share, especially extra perlite! 

Rock Painting Station
11:30am
Decorate a rock to take home or gift to the garden. Paint, brushes, and rocks will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. 

Turlock Community Potluck
12:00pm-2:00pm  
Bring your favorite dish or just bring yourself! Enjoy a slice of pizza while exchanging tips/tricks. It's a great way to meet neighbors, network and have some fun. 

As a reminder, TCG asks children to be always supervised and for everyone to be mindful not to disturb the garden beds. They are lovingly maintained by different families and groups. 

Be sure to check out the Free Garden Items & Seed Exchange Cabinet and Free Little Library. (Take what you need, give what you can.)

Turlock Community Gardens and parking are located behind the Cornerstone Covenant Church (4501 Crowell Road) and the nonprofit, Jessica's House.  If you have any questions about the Turlock Community Gardens event, email info@turlockcommunitygardens.org
