Ask a Master Gardener at Kitsap’s Farmers Markets
(Bremerton) - Master Gardeners will be available
at all Kitsap County farmers markets this summer to answer your questions
about plants, pests, and sustainable gardening. The Washington State
University Kitsap County Extension trains Master Garden volunteers.
You
can learn about natural yard care by visiting the Master Gardeners
information booth at the farmers market. They also will have information
about building a rain garden.
Master Gardeners can provide tips and techniques on growing fruits and
vegetables, and selecting the right plant for the right place. They offer
advice about dealing with pests and other problems, and about using water
efficiently.
“Master Gardeners know a lot about fruits, vegetables, and ornamental
plants,” says Colleen Miko, Washington State University Extension’s
horticulture educator. “They can help people decide on the right plants for
their home, and provide advice on how to take care of them. If you have a
gardening question, ask a master gardener. They will staff an information
booth at all of Kitsap County’s farmers markets.”
