Master Gardeners will also be on hand in each garden to answer your gardening questions. Master Gardeners is a program of WSU.

Master Gardener volunteers teach local community members to:

• Manage their gardens and landscapes in a science-based, sustainable manner;
• Address environmental and social priorities such as water conservation and water quality protection;
• Reduce the impact of invasive species; and
• Increase public awareness of healthy living through gardening.

Master Gardeners also enhance communities through demonstration gardens and donation of produce to local food banks.
