What is the Master Gardener Program?
The WSU Master Gardener Program is a nationally recognized program that trains volunteers to serve their communities through horticultural education and outreach. Everyone with an interest in gardening and volunteering is welcome and encouraged to apply for the program. Once volunteers receive training, they provide educational information to the public in home and subsistence horticulture including vegetable and fruit gardening, lawn and landscape maintenance, composting, native plants, plant problem diagnosis, pest control and many other areas.
The Master Gardener Foundation Spring Gardening Workshop, a bienniel event, was held on Saturday, March 25, 2006. There were many excellent breakout sessions held, a wealth of gardening information given and awesome door prizes awarded. If you missed this year's workshop, we look forward to your participation in 2008. Check back to this site for pictures from the 2006 event.
Need Help or Advice?
Master Gardeners are available throughout the year on San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, Shaw and Crane islands to answer your gardening questions. Whether you have questions about your soil, have a problem with your fruit trees, or are thinking about starting a garden, volunteers will be happy to provide you with the research-based information you need. Master Gardener Volunteers are available to speak to garden clubs, horticulture classes and workshops. They conduct diagnostic labs and tours. During the summer, WSU Master Gardeners can be found at plant clinic locations around the county.
