Do you have a gardening question? Orcas Master Gardeners Can Help!
The Orcas Master Gardeners will host a gardening information table at Driftwood Nursery throughout the summer starting Thursday May 28. They will continue to be available at their booth on Saturdays at the Orcas Farmers’ Market. We encourage Orcas residents to visit us with questions about plants with poor vigor, or plants with signs of disease or insect damage. We also identify plants and insects of concern or interest.
Please bring samples of your plants to include leaves, stems, flowers and fruit if possible. The more diseased plant sample we receive the greater the chance we can figure out what is going on or what it is. The plant sample should be as fresh as possible.
We will be at Driftwood from 11 am-1 pm or so on the following dates:
*Thursday, May 28
*Thursday, July 2
*Wednesday, August 5 and
*Wednesday, September 2
We look forward to your gardening questions. Happy Gardening!
