Learn how Feb. 20 with WSU Master Gardeners

Discover how to grow, produce and preserve your own fruits and vegetables with the Washington State University Master Gardeners of Chelan County Saturday, Feb. 20, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Chelan County PUD auditorium, 327 N. Wenatchee Ave. 

Garden for Food is a series of free programs covering composting, organic gardening, container gardening, irrigation, seed selection, and preserving your harvest. The Feb. 20 kickoff will include speakers from S & W Irrigation, and gardener Ken Lacy will discuss seed.  Participants can join discussions on soils, composting and soil nutrients; common problems and solutions in the vegetable garden; and when and what to plant. 

There are many reasons to grow your own:  For health, for the environment, to save money, for self-sufficiency or just for fun.   Whatever your reason, Garden for Food can help you be successful.

Dates and times for follow-up sessions will be provided at the kickoff.
