The WSU Master Gardeners of Pacific County begin their thirteenth year of sponsoring a series of gardening workshops in conjunction with the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco. The intent of this joint venture is to renovate and maintain a Pacific County Master Gardener demonstration garden at the Museum. The Museum is located on 115 SE Lake Street. The Museum Discovery Garden is located behind the Museum’s parking lot.
On Saturday, February 22nd, Pacific County Master Gardeners are sponsoring their first 2025 workshop with their ever popular “Pruning Basics”. Master Gardener volunteers will demonstrate proper pruning techniques for trees and shrubs as well as demonstrating proper pruning techniques in the museum building. The lecture begins at 11:00am. After the workshop, and weather permitting, you can practice your new pruning skills on the trees and shrubs in the Museum Discovery Garden. Bring your favorite pruning tools and dress for the weather.
Plant questions or problems? Come ask a Master Gardener! Stop by the Museum anytime between 11:00am through 2:00pm with your plant questions. If possible, bring samples of your plant problem.
Master Gardener Mike Karvia will demonstrate how to sharpen your garden tools. Bring your dull garden tools to learn how to sharpen them effectively and safely in the Museum! From 11:00am to 2:00pm.
The workshop, plant clinic and tool sharpening are free and open to the public. Join us for education and fun learning about pruning techniques!
