PORT ANGELES — Rosalie Preble, a veteran Washington State University Clallam County Master Gardener, will provide recommendations for selecting, planting and caring for rhododendrons and azaleas at noon Thursday.

The lecture will be in the county commissioners meeting room (Room 160) at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St.

The presentation is part of the Master Gardeners’ Green Thumb Garden Tips educational series. The series is free and open to the public.

A Master Gardener since 1997, Preble will provide information that will help home gardeners choose the right plants for their landscape constraints and improve their performance by attention to the plants’ needs.

Preble grew up in a gardening family and has been gardening in the Sequim area for 18 years.
