Gardening with Native Plants and Starting Wildflowers from Seed

Fall is a great time to begin to add native plants to your home landscape and the Santa Cruz Public Library has a wealth of resources to help us garden with land stewardship in mind.
After a presentation, we’ll go outside to have a hands on workshop on starting and saving seeds for future planting. You will go home with baby seedlings, seeds and a list of helpful books that can be checked out from the library’s amazing collection. All materials will be provided but bring a pair of gloves if desired.
Community-led Learning Instructor Bio: Janice Kuch is a UC Master Gardener and has been gardening with California Native Plants for over 20 years.

This is your Sunday destination.

Market Match
Market Match offers farmers’ market customers a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10 on their CalFresh (food stamp) cards at the Live Oak Market. If a customer swipes their CalFresh card for seven dollars, they get seven dollars in Market Match tokens for free. Swipe $10, you get $10. The goal of this project is to encourage CalFresh (EBT/SNAP) recipients to take advantage of fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables. By offering an incentive that lowers the price of fresh produce, we are helping shoppers stretch their food dollars while keeping their families healthy. SCCFM will be offering the Market Match program for the 2020 season. Locate the information booth and the market manager to redeem EBT coins and to participate in the Market Match Program.
