During #UConnGives we are asking for your support. Help our program at https://s.uconn.edu/givetogardeners
UConn Gives is Coming!
UConn Gives is right around the corner! This is a great opportunity to give back to an organization that gives to so many people. The UConn Extension Master Gardeners organize community projects, provide horticultural training and expertise, and donate and grow vegetables for food banks. What better way to give back to your community, than by giving to an organization dedicated to serving Connecticut’s communities! We’ve appreciated all your support during our previous UConn Gives efforts and hope you will support our program again this year.
