Learn to Garden in Clark County
As most of you already know, I have previously written about how raised vegetable gardens seem to be taking the housing market by storm. (Are Vegetable Gardens The New Granite Counter Tops?! A "Must Have?", What Does a $2,000,000 Vegetable Garden Look Like? - 2009 Clark County Parade of Homes ) What you may not know is that Clark County residents now have two new options for gardening education.
The Clark County Homegrown Gardens program is looking for folks who are interested in learning how to grow their own vegetable garden. Selected participants will be given access to a raised bed with soil, seeds, plants, and basic gardening tools. They will also receive a copy of the All New Square Foot Gardening book to use as a guide and they will be provided with a mentor for encouragement. No previous gardening experience is necessary.
Contact Kris Alexander at 360 397 6118 or kris.alexander@clark.wa.gov for more information.
