Located at the County Government Center, 891 Mountain Ranch Road, San Andreas, the garden will open at 10 am and stay open to the public until 2pm. This month’s topic focuses on the vegetable garden. We are presenting “Tips for growing Tomatoes and Peppers”. The presentation starts at 10:30 AM and ends with a question and answer session. And if you’re interested in what to do with all those vegetables and fruits you have grown, you can learn the basic techniques to safely make jams jellies and other home preserved foods….

There will be no plant sale in August.

Master Gardeners will be available to answer home gardening questions as well as assist in identifying, and diagnosing plant and pest problems. A variety of informative UC publications will be available at our learning center.

When the garden is not open, home gardening assistance is offered by Master Gardeners through the help line at: 209-754-2880. The public may call the number, leave a message regarding the problem, and a Master Gardener will return the call.

The Demonstration Garden is a project of the Calaveras County Master Gardeners whose primary goal is educating the public about home gardening. Proceeds from plant sales support Master Gardener’s education programs, and maintenance of the demonstration garden.
