February 13, 9AM. Due to the huge volume of snow still on the ground making travel difficult, we are taking this class online for the evening thru the Zoom platform. If you signed up for the class and provided us with your email, you should have already received notice and instructions on how to connect. Nothing needed but an internet-connected computer with speakers. Any questions email kate.ryan@wsu.edu. 

Our fifth class in the series features Dr. Tom Walters from the Walter’s Ag Research in Anacortes. A researcher and consultant for the small fruit industry in Western Washington Dr. Walters helps northwest berry growers raise berries more profitably and sustainably. He’ll cover varieties, soil preferences, and cultural requirements for Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries and other small fruits.

No matter if you only have a tiny apartment deck, small garden space, or plenty of acreage you can grow fresh, healthy food in a healthier, more environmentally friendly way.

The WSU Snohomish County Growing Groceries program brings beginning and experienced gardeners together with speakers and topics focused on growing healthy food using sustainable gardening practices.

Developed over the last several years, the program’s goal is to increase our communities’ access to fresh, healthy food by teaching the latest research-based techniques for growing food.
