Gardening is great exercise but unless you’re a faithful participant, it can result in aches and pains. Presenters will show you how to avoid those problems using proper pruning shears, shovels, and extendable handles, just to name a few tools. Making the garden more accessible will be another topic of conversation you won’t want to miss.

And it’s always important to remember the Master Gardener’s motto, “Right Plant, Right Place.” They will help you develop an eye for plants that will work best for your circumstances and introduce you to some plants you may not be know. And there is always time for your questions and comments. Come prepared to be re-energized in creating the garden of your dreams – at any age!

 

Reasonable accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities and special needs. Please make all requests to WSU Extension 360-482-2934 at least two weeks prior to the event.
