About Gardeners Alliance: The Gardeners Alliance is a group within the SOS campaign that works to promote the campus gardens and unite the garden-friendly community by creating a space to foster and share information between campus gardeners and the students of UCSC.
If you are a student who wants to learn more about the gardens, become involved in them, or access information about upcoming garden events, workshops, or classes, then the Gardeners Alliance can be a beneficial resource for you. If you have questions or want more consistent updates regarding the Gardener's Alliance, you can visit our Facebook page or attend any of the SEC General Gatherings on Wednesday nights (5:30pm - 7:30pm) in the College Eight Red Room to hear more about what's goin' on!
