Is planting early always better? Find out on this self guided tour\, available from May 8- May 22! (Photo: Amy McIntyre)\nDo 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. \nDue to continued COVID-19 restrictions\, WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners are implementing self-guided tours to teach local gardeners about vegetable gardening on the North Olympic Peninsula. These tours are in lieu of monthly garden walks provided in the past. \nAs with the garden walks\, tours will focus on what is happening (or should be happening) in the vegetable garden each month and will highlight \n\nWhat vegetables grow well in our climate\,\nWhat needs to be done in the vegetable garden\, and\nWhat control measures exists for common pests and diseases.\n\nSelf guided tours will be available for 2 weeks\, starting the 2nd Saturday of each month through September or until mandated restrictions are lifted. New topics will be determined every month and identified by the second Saturday of the month. Poles flagging focal points and tour sheets will be available for two weeks. \nHow will it work? Up to 10 topics about vegetable gardening will be identified by poles and coordinating numbers. Visitors are invited to pick up a tour sheet\, locate the numerals and test their gardening knowledge. \nThe 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. \n\n \n \n ↑\n Back to top URL:https://extension.wsu.edu/clallam/event/8888/ LOCATION:WA CATEGORIES:MG END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210513T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210513T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T163637 CREATED:20210503T232321Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210503T232321Z UID:10000372-1620907200-1620910800@extension.wsu.edu SUMMARY:Bee Spaces Hidden in Plain Sight DESCRIPTION:While there are many factors that have played into the decline of native pollinators\, a significant issue is simply loss of habitat. Cathy Lucero\, Clallam County Noxious Weed Control Board Coordinator\, will talk about how we can better utilize the habitat that still exists or capture the potential of areas used for other things. She will convey new thinking that is sweeping the nation about incorporating pollinator habitat into some of the most unexpected places. Lucero will show the strategic approach Clallam County is using on County managed land to multi-task and build resiliency on a landscape scale and will provide information on how to get involved. \nFind a direct Zoom link here  or join the presentation by phone by calling (253) 215-8782 and using Meeting ID: 999 5145 3743\, Passcode: 642693. \nCathy Lucero has been the coordinator for the Clallam County Noxious Weed Control Board for the past twenty-four years.

Lucero was awarded the Outstanding Invasive Species Leadership Award from National Invasive Species Council for her facilitation of an Olympic Peninsula wide working group collaborating to control invasive plants across jurisdictional boundaries.
