Do you find it difficult to learn about vegetable gardening from books and lectures? Are you tired of sitting at your computer searching for gardening information when you want to be in the garden? Come learn at the 5th Street Community Garden in Port Angeles.

The September walk in the 5th St. Garden will be self-guided. Tour materials will be posted by Saturday, September 11th and be available through Saturday, September 18. Look for the tall pole with colorful flagging marked #1. Pick up a tour brochure and visit the other numbered flags throughout the garden to learn about seasonally relevant topics. Additional brochures on some tour topics will be available.

The garden walk will focus on what is happening (or should be happening) in the vegetable garden in the fall. Topics may include:

  • Saving seeds
  • Ripening and storing winter squash
  • Getting tomatoes to ripen
  • Putting the garden to bed

Because the garden is everchanging, it is possible that identified problems will be resolved before the tour is taken. This is the final Second Saturday Walk scheduled for 2021 at 5th St. Please join us for these walks in the garden starting on the Second Saturday of April, 2022.

The Fifth Street Community Garden is located at 328 E. Fifth Street in Port Angeles just off Peabody, right across from City Hall. The garden includes over 50 individual 9×12-foot plots that are rented by community members. You may visit during daylight hours. All visitors are asked not to sample any fruit and vegetables without permission form the renters. COVID-19 protocols, including social distancing and wearing masks, are encouraged while visiting the garden. Two picnic tables are available, so bring a picnic and enjoy the everchanging landscape. The garden has no bathroom facilities or garbage pickup. Please take your trash with you. The garden is not wheel-chair accessible.
