Our family has been away from the area for several years, and we’ve moved back home. I am a great fan of master gardeners and all of the Extension Office in general. But guess what? I can’t find it. Did it go out of business?
I sure hope that doesn’t happen. No, we just have a new locale. We are now located in Hazel Dell, at the newly named Washington State University Heritage Farm, which used to be called the WSU Research Unit, and long ago the Poor Farm. It is an old building, but the remodel makes it quite nice.
The address is 1919 N.E. 78th St. The phone number is unchanged, 360-397-6060 dial extension 5711 to reach the master gardeners program. You may also email us at mganswerclinic@clark.wa.gov. The program’s website is http://clark.wsu.edu.
At the site you’ll find food bank gardens. Community gardens will be available, and a fabulous new greenhouse is being constructed on the property. One of the uses for this greenhouse will be to aid the master gardeners in growing plant material for the annual Mothers Day Plant Sale. Taking place May 11-13 this year, the funds raised from this sale aid local schools gardens, food banks, tuition for Clark College, WSU Students, and master garden training courses.
