The UC Master Gardeners of Butte County announced that its Living Lab Team has been awarded second place in the statewide triennial Master Gardeners Search for Excellence competition. The Living Lab is a standards-aligned garden education program designed to increase youth engagement in science through hands-on learning in school gardens. The team provides garden science lessons to children, training to educators and workshops in the Chapman Park Teaching Garden, created in partnership with Chico Area Recreation and Park District in 2024. Pictured from left to right are Living Lab team members Mary Wrysinski, Marie Dillon, Mike Flanner, Candice Boggs, Toni Morucci, Rick Rogers, Diana Hoffmeister and Joan Ellison, with team lead Joyce Hill in front.
How to submit a snapshot
Snapshots, reader-submitted photos of community events, are published Monday. They may include service projects, guest speakers at club meetings, awards being presented or kids doing school projects. Just make sure there are people in the photo — no more than 12 — and keep it current.
Send a high-resolution JPG with a paragraph explaining the content of the photo: who (in left-to-right order with last names), what, where, when and why to snapshots@chicoer.com. Non-digital submissions will not be accepted at this time.
We can’t accept photos about businesses, private events or those adorable pet photos.
