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.”
