Veteran Master Gardeners

Lunch in the Garden this Friday offers brisk stroll, education talk in Port Angeles

PORT ANGELES — Each month, Master Gardeners lead a fast-paced, one-hour walk through the Fifth Street Community Garden, 328 E. Fifth St., to show what vegetables grow well on the North Olympic Peninsula.

The presentations are free.

Master Gardeners Bob Cain, Audreen Williams and Jeanette Stehr-Green will share their knowledge this Friday while Meggan Uecker, Clallam County waste reduction coordinator, will talk about composting.

Cain joined Master Gardeners in 2009 and was Clallam County Master Gardener Foundation president from 2011-13.

Williams, who joined the group in 2012, was a co-recipient of the 2014 Clallam County Veteran Master Gardener of the Year award.

Stehr-Green, a Master Gardener since 2003, was the 2012 Clallam County Veteran Master Gardener of the Year.

The Lunch in the Garden educational series is sponsored by WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners on the second Friday of each month through September.

The Fifth Street Community Garden, which is across from City Hall, has more than 50 plots of 9 feet by 12 feet.

It was developed on city property in 2011.

For more information, call 360-565-2679.
