SUMMARY:Green Thumb Lecture Series April 28th\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Delvin Solkinson Teaching in the Forest. Photo by Dana Wilson\nWhat is permaculture and why is it important to you? Simply put\, permaculture is an approach to gardening and land management that focuses on self-sufficient ecosystems. Permaculture gardens draw inspiration from nature with methods like edible landscaping and wildlife gardening to create a low-maintenance\, self-contained and productive ecosystem. Join permaculture expert Delvin Solkinson on April 28th for a Green Thumb Gardening Tips Zoom presentation from noon – 1:00 p.m. and find out why permaculture may be right for you. \nFind a direct link to the Zoom presentation here. \nDelvin will discuss the ethics and principles of permaculture along with design frameworks\, soil and quick return composting\, water strategies and plant and tree systems. He will also talk about permaculture as it relates to animal systems and integrated pest management along with climate strategies for the Pacific Northwest. “Integrating this toolkit of design principles\, strategies and methods can inspire new\, creative and holistic approaches to garden design and maintenance\,” said Delvin. \nDelvin’s 25 years of gardening expertise includes designing\, building and maintaining the Heart Gardens\, a permaculture demonstration site in the downtown of Roberts Creek\, B.C.\, Canada. “Passionate about plants with a history of use by Coastal First Peoples\, I love exploring how people can provide for more of their own needs more effectively by working in cooperation with nature\,” he said. \nHerb Spiral at Vancouver Compost Ed Center. Photo by Dana Wilson\nDelvin is a community gardener\, student and teacher from British Columbia\, B.C.\, Canada. Collaborating with his wife Grace\, a homesteader and herbalist\, he creates free learning and teaching tools\, writes articles and makes videos.

SUMMARY:Digging Deeper Workshop: Growing Strawberries
DESCRIPTION:Clallam County Master Gardener Jeanette Stehr-Green will teach local gardeners about selecting\, planting\, and caring for strawberries on Saturday\, April 16 from 10:30 am to 12 noon at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at 2711 Woodcock Road in Sequim.\nStrawberries are well suited for planting in the home garden; they are easy to grow\, take up a small amount of space and produce fruit quickly. Store-bought strawberries cannot compete with homegrown strawberries harvested at their peak of ripeness and flavor. \nOn Saturday\, April 16\, from 10:30 am to 12 noon\, veteran Clallam County Master Gardener Jeanette Stehr-Green will provide a primer on growing strawberries at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at 2711 Woodcock Road in Sequim. Stehr-Green\, a Master Gardener since 2003 and berry enthusiast\, will help local gardeners make sense of the general types of strawberries and varieties best suited to our climate. She will describe how to plant strawberries and their seasonal care. Stehr-Green will also talk about growing strawberries in containers and the ornamental garden. \n“Growing Strawberries” is part of the Master Gardener Digging Deeper educational series which is free and open to the public and occurs on the first and third Saturdays of most months. “Growing Strawberries” will be held in-person\, out of doors at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden. Attendees will be asked to mask regardless of COVID vaccination status and maintain an appropriate distance from others. Community members should stay home if they are sick. Physical presence at the Demonstration Garden will be considered an attestation that the attendee is symptom-free and has not had a recent known exposure to COVID. \nIn addition to the scheduled educational presentation\, a team of Clallam County Master Gardeners will be available at the Demonstration Garden from 10 am to 1 pm on April 16 to answer all gardening questions. Digging Deeper attendees are encouraged to bring samples of garden problems or pests for diagnosis by Master Gardeners who can recommend control measures.

SUMMARY:Green Thumb Lecture Series April 14th\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Muriel Nesbitt in her garden\nJoin us on April 14th for “Aphids: Climate Sentinels” presented by Clallam County Master Gardener Muriel Nesbitt. \nIf you garden\, chances are you’ve encountered aphids on your beloved roses or attached to the leaves of a favorite garden vegetable. Aphids are an annoyance to gardeners but their role in the food chain and farming may become more problematic due to climate change. Join Clallam County Master Gardener Muriel Nesbitt for a Green Thumb Gardening Tips Zoom presentation on Thursday April 14th from noon – 1:00 p.m. for a fascinating look at how the problem with aphids is heating up. \nA close up of the raspberry aphid.\nMuriel will discuss aphid biology and their role on the distribution of plant viruses. She will also detail the role of heat units—or growing degree days—on aphid emergence and habitat range. Muriel will also look at projections about future local changes in growing degree days and potential future effects of aphids on food security. “Gardeners may now think of local increases in growing degree days as a positive thing\, and this talk may bring awareness of some of the potentially negative effects of ongoing local climate changes\,” Muriel said. \nMuriel began her career as a high school teacher in Dar es Salaam\, Tanzania. She went on to become a graduate student at the University of Washington where she earned a Ph.D. in genetics. Muriel was a professor of biology at University of California\, Los Angeles for two years and then taught biology at University of California\, San Diego for 35 years before retiring to Port Angeles in 2008. \nFind a direct link to the Zoom presentation here. \nGreen Thumb Education Series Presentations are held from 12 to 1 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Talks are only being offered by online streaming. Please see instructions for accessing the live stream. Presentations and associated printed materials will be archived on the local articles and archived presentations portion of our website.

SUMMARY:Green Thumb Lecture Series March 24th\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Laurel Moulton will share all about the Power of Heat Units\nJoin us on Thursday March 24th for “Harnessing the Power of Heat Units For Your Garden’s Success” presented by Laurel Moulton\, Clallam County’s Master Gardener Coordinator. \nJoin us on Zoom via this link. \nGardeners and farmers often use calendars to calculate when crops will grow and ripen\, and when the best times are to employ pest man-agement strategies. Using a calendar alone\, however\, may not capture fluctuations in weather that can affect when pests emerge or when crops ripen. Warm up your knowledge on how heat units can affect good gardening practices and join Clallam County Master Gardener Coordinator Laurel Moulton for a Green Thumb Gardening Tips presentation from noon – 1:00 p.m. \nIn “Harnessing the Power of Heat Units for Your Garden’s Success\,” Laurel will discuss what heat units are\, how they are calculated\, and how calculating heat units can help gardeners and farmers manage certain pests in a more effective and sustainable manner. She will al-so cover how heat units can help gardeners understand what crops are suitable for a particular location and where to find and use online tools that make heat units a more accessible tool. \nLaurel has been a Master Gardener since 2006 and received her master’s degree in horticulture with a minor in entomology from Oregon State University in 2011. She is currently a member of the WSU Extension Integrated Pest Management Team and spends her time outside of Master Gardeners helping small farms in Clallam\, Jefferson\, and Kitsap County to accurately identify pests and crop diseases and develop plans to manage them sustainably. She enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for insects and growing food with the community. \nGreen Thumb Education Series Presentations are held from 12 to 1 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Talks are currently only being offered by online streaming\, due to current social distancing concerns with COVID-19. Please see instructions for accessing the live stream. Presentations and associated printed materials will be archived on the local articles and archived presentations portion of our website.

SUMMARY:Green Thumb Lecture Series March 10th 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Weeding Out The Truth: What Works and What Doesn’t for Weed Control” with Christine Heycke\n \nFind a direct link to the Zoom presentation here. \nIf you are looking for household alternatives to over-the-counter herbicides\, there are a lot of recipes on the Internet for home remedies to kill your weeds. You may choose these methods as a money-saving technique\, to avoid the use of harsh chemicals\, or simply for convenience because you can mix them up in your kitchen. But do they actually work? Join Jefferson County Master Gardener\, Christine Heycke\, on March 10th for a Green Thumb Gardening Tips Zoom presentation from Noon – 1:00 p.m. for straight talk on the most popular home remedies for weed-killing—as well as some more outlandish ones—to examine what really works. \nChristine will discuss how the components of these recipes work on plants and talk about any potential cautions or side effects as home remedies can be effective on some plants and not others. Other ingredients can be hazardous to you\, your soil\, and the plants you have worked hard to cultivate. Christine notes\, “Knowing how the components of these recipes interact with each other and how they affect your soil and plants will help you make informed decisions about how to control weeds in your garden.” \nChristine is a Washington State University Jefferson County Master Gardener and also serves on the Jefferson County Noxious Weed Control Board. She holds a master’s degree in urban and regional planning\, and has enjoyed a lifelong interest in plants\, insects\, and gardening. \n \nGreen Thumb Education Series Presentations are held from 12 to 1 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Talks are currently only being offered by online streaming\, due to current social distancing concerns with COVID-19. Please see instructions for accessing the live stream. Presentations and associated printed materials will be archived on the local articles and archived presentations portion of our website.

SUMMARY:Green Thumb Lecture: The First Years of your Orchard
DESCRIPTION:Bruce Pape will provide tips to help get your orchard off to a good start\, September 23\, 2021\nLearn how to enjoy excellent home harvested tree fruit from your very own yard from Bruce Pape\, who has been nurturing fruit trees for over forty years. He will talk Thursday\, September 23rd\, about fruit trees in the residential setting during his Zoom presentation from noon to 1:00pm. \nPlanning to plant some trees this fall? Listen in and find out what you are getting in-to. You purchased a new home\, and it has fruit trees in the yard. Fruit trees\, what do you do with them? They need care. Pape will review the necessary orchard chores. YOU must keep them a manageable size in limited spaces or else. High density planting can lead to successive ripening and more diversity in what you harvest. The myriad of fruit tree varieties will be covered lightly. \nFind a direct Zoom link to the presentation here. \nFor over 30 years\, Bruce taught in the Earth Sciences and Geography Department at Central Michigan University. Graduate work was at Arizona State and Michigan State Universities.\nPape has been a Master Gardener since 2012 and in that first year became coordinator of the Woodcock Demonstration Garden orchard. He continues in that position where he answers queries from the public pertaining to fruit trees. As a result\, his knowledge of fruit trees\, especially apples\, has blossomed. \nGreen Thumb Education Series Presentations are held from 12 to 1 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Talks are currently only being offered by online streaming\, due to current social distancing concerns with COVID-19. Please see instructions for accessing the live stream.

SUMMARY:Green Thumb Lecture: Grubs and More: Identifying Juvenile Forms of Beetles and other Insects in your Garden (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:What did this giant Ponderous Borer (Trichocnemis spiculatus) beetle look like as a kid? Photo: Gordon Clark\, 2021\nAs gardeners we love to see beetles scurrying over the ground and bees visiting flowers. Although we most often notice the adult forms of insects\, these creatures spend most of their lives as juveniles that are more difficult to notice\, and sometimes even more difficult to identify. Laurel Moulton\, Program Coordinator for the Clallam County Master Gardeners\, will take us on a journey through the secret lives of young insects in the garden via Zoom\, Thursday\, August 12\, 2021 from noon to 1:00 pm. This is part two of a two-part series. July’s presentation focused on juvenile butterflies\, moths\, flies and other insects that are referred to as worms\, caterpillars or maggots when they are young. Part 2 will focus on grubs\, or the juvenile forms of beetles\, and other juvenile insects that may look a little more complex.  \nLaurel has been a Master Gardener since 2006\, and received her Master’s degree in horticulture with a minor in entomology from Oregon State University in 2011.  \nParticipants should come away knowing a little more about the more cryptic life stages of insects\, where to find keys to identify them\, and what some common ones are in the garden.  \nClick here for a direct link to the presentation via Zoom. \nGreen Thumb Education Series Presentations are held from 12 to 1 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Lectures are currently being offered via online streaming only (Zoom). Due to changing concerns with COVID-19 variants Green Thumb lectures will remain on Zoom through the end of 2021. Please see instructions for accessing the live stream.

SUMMARY:Green Thumb Lecture: Worms and Caterpillars: Identifying Juvenile Forms of Moths\, Butterflies and Flies in your Garden
DESCRIPTION:More information coming soon. \nIn the garden we get joy from seeing butterflies sipping from puddles\, moths blending in with the bark of a tree\, and flies… well\, some flies do very interesting things. Do you wonder how they spend their time in their younger life? Although insects spend most of their life as juveniles\, those forms are often much more cryptic. When you come across an interesting caterpillar\, maggot or worm how do you know “who” it is?Clallam County Master Gardener Program Coordinator\, Laurel Moulton\, will join us to take a look at the juvenile forms of some common insects in the garden. Part 1 of this two-part series will cover common butterfly and moth larvae\, as well as fly larvae and a few others that have a worm-like appearance when they’re young. \nTune in for part 2 on August 12\, in person in the Commissioners Meeting Room at the Clallam County Courthouse. Laurel will return to help you learn to identify the juvenile forms (and sometimes eggs) of beetles\, true bugs\, and other insects that are commonly encountered in the garden. \nUse this link to join the July 22 Zoom presentation.
