Starting April 9, 2022, and every second Saturday through September 10th from 10 -11:30 a.m., Washington State University Extension Clallam County Master Gardeners will lead a fast-paced walk through the Port Angeles Fifth Street Community Garden to examine what is happening (or should be happening) in local vegetable gardens.

Walk participants will:

• Learn what needs to be done in the vegetable garden.
• Learn what problems are likely to appear each month.
• Learn what control measures exist for common pest and diseases.
• Get timely advice.

All walks are free and open to the public and occur rain or shine. The walks are beneficial to persons new to vegetable gardening, as well as more seasoned vegetable gardeners.

The Fifth Street Community Garden is located at 328 E. Fifth Street in Port Angeles, just off Peabody and right across from City Hall. The garden, developed on city property in 2011, includes over fifty 9×12-foot plots worked by local gardeners.

Clallam County Master Gardeners are volunteers who enjoy plants, gardening and doing community outreach and education about sustainable gardening. Volunteers have taken the WSU Master Gardener Training and have access to the experts and the latest research-based resources from WSU and other sources that provide the best information for the North Olympic Peninsula.
