Descriptions and Zoom links can be found on the online calendar.
Green Thumb Lectures cover general and unusual garden topics on select Thursdays throughout the year. Refer to the event schedule and our online calendar to join us at an upcoming session.
Digging Deeper Saturdays cover basic gardening topics that are relevant to most home gardeners, and may include live demonstrations and expert speaker panels. They are being held from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on select Saturdays at the Woodcock Demonstration Garden. - Master Gardeners arrange seminars in conjunction with local organizations, provide educational speakers for local garden and horticultural clubs, and prepare educational booths for the Clallam County Fair, and other events around the county.
Garden Programming for Kids
- Youth Enrichment Program (YEP) volunteers visit every second grade classroom in Clallam County each year. The star of the program is Herbie, the scarlet runner bean puppet, who grows from seed to bean plant before the student’s eyes.
- Master Gardener volunteers host a garden club at the The Boys and Girls Club of Sequim and The Boys and Girls Club of Port Angeles.
- Master Gardener volunteers host a 4-H Garden Club at the Fifth St. Community Garden. Kids work alongside Master Gardeners to learn sustainable gardening methods and grow healthy fruits and vegetables. If you’d like to learn more about 4H, please contact Clallam County 4H Coordinator Melanie Greer at melanie.greer@wsu.edu
- Master Gardeners visit local school gardens to teach classes, and consult with teachers on planting strategies.
