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.
