WSU Master Gardeners Foundation of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties are sponsoring our second plant clinic and information center for 2025 on Saturday, May 10th, from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in the museum’s parking lot. The museum is located on 115 SE Lake Street in Ilwaco. We will be there to address your plant questions, concerns, and suggestions.
If you have questions such as:
• What are the optimum soil temperature conditions for vegetable seed germination?
• My one rhododendron is wilting and dying. What’s wrong?
• Moss is all over my lawn. What moss killer can I use?
• What tomato plants work best in a cool marine environment?
We can help you! Stop by anytime between 10:00am and 2:00pm. Bring samples if you can.
WSU Extension also supports two web sites that can help you diagnose your own plant problems.
• Hortsense (http://hortsense.cahnrs.wsu.edu/Home/HortsenseHome.aspx) – Contains fact sheets for the home gardener to manage plant problems using Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
• Pestsense (http://pestsense.cahnrs.wsu.edu/Home/PestsenseHome.aspx) – Contains fact sheets for managing common indoor pest problems using Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Also, Master Gardener Mike Karvia will demonstrate how to sharpen your garden tools. Bring your dull garden tools to learn how to effectively and safely sharpen them! From 10:00am to 2:00pm in the museum parking lot.
