Seed Saver Harvest Celebration
October 23, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join the WSU Extension Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties at our Demonstration Garden at the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds in Elma, WA for an afternoon of fun selecting seeds, potted, and bare root plants, while learning about dividing plants and harvesting potatoes. For the youth and those young at heart, there are lots of fun educational activities planned, so bring the family. Master Gardeners will be on hand to help you choose the right seeds and plants for your needs, and will demonstrate how to divide your new plants as they grow and multiply.

- This is a free, family event. While adults gather plant material for their yards, youth can learn about seeds and the many ways to plant them at our youth activity station. Adults are welcome to join in fun, too!
- Master Gardeners will be available at all times to help visitors pick out the plant material that will work best for their yards and personal needs, and can offer planting instructions.
- There will be several demonstrations on plant division for popular landscaping plants. The newly divided plants will be available to take home.
- Most of our seeds are for annual flowers that we use to attract pollinators in our garden and are good re-seeders. A few of our seeds are perennials. If you want one or the other, just ask.
- Potted and bare root plants range from annuals and biennials that readily re-seed, to long-lived perennials. These plants are primarily from the Demonstration Garden, with some from the yards of Master Gardeners. They grow well in our climate.
- Dried plant material, for use in dried flower arrangements (hydrangea blossoms and breadseed poppy seed pods) have been harvested and dried for this event. Grab a stem or two to take home and enjoy.
- A demonstration on harvesting Ozette potatoes will include the option to take home a tuber or two for you to grow yourself next year.
Do bring a paper bag or box to carry home your plant material!
