1st Saturday Workshop with Master Gardeners and Plant Clinic – Elma

Saturday, November 5, the Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties invite you to join us for a fun and educational class on landscaping with native plants. The WSU Extension office at the Elma fairgrounds is the place, and 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 is the time. This class is free, and no preregistration is required.

Often times we are so busy checking out what is new at the local nursery and thumbing through plant catalogs, we miss the beauty that can be seen in the natural landscape. In Washington state we are blessed with a great variety of lush native plants that fit well into even the most grand and manicured landscapes and especially well into the pristine and simple garden.

This class, led by Master Gardener Jude Armstrong, a native plant expert, will address the who, what, and why of gardening with native plants; where to buy them, where to plant them, how to group them. This class will be time well spent and can add another dimension to planning next yearÔÇÖs adventures in the garden.

After the workshop there will be a half-hour plant clinic. If you have a question, please bring samples about problems or pests in your garden, if you have them.
