Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n Lynn Riley, a Washington State native, has been growing vegetables most of her adult life, first in pea patches around Seattle and later at her home in Snohomish County. A Master Gardener since 2015, she enjoys growing food for family and friends and sharing her knowledge about vegetable gardening. Lynn currently serves as coordinator for the Kitchen Garden at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at Jennings Park in Marysville. The vegetable gardens there produce over 3,000 pounds of produce annually for the Marysville Food Bank.<\/p>\n In partnership with WSU Snohomish County Master Gardeners, the Growing Groceries program brings beginning and experienced gardeners together with speakers and topics focused on growing healthy food using sustainable gardening practices.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Developed over the last decade, our program goal is to increase community access to fresh, healthy food by teaching the latest research-based techniques for growing food.<\/p>\n WSU Extension programs and employment are available to all without discrimination.
