Clallam County Master Gardener Digging Deeper Saturdays Series: “Raised Bed Gardening”

Description

Growing vegetables in raised beds offers numerous advantages, including better drainage, warmer soil, and easier access by the gardener. Another advantage is productivity – through better control of your growing environment, your season’s results are often more bountiful and more delicious. On Saturday, August 15th from 10-11:30 a.m. the Clallam County Master Gardeners will dive into the What, How, and WOW of Raised Bed Gardening at the Woodcock Demonstration Garden. This interactive learning opportunity is free to all members of our community. The Raised Bed Gardening team has planned a dynamic experience, beginning with a presentation/Q&A session addressing types of raised beds, location and design considerations, soil preparation, watering, mulches, and various attachments for growing different types of vegetables. The rest of the morning will take participants through the Woodcock raised bed gardens, where mature produce and earlier-stage plantings are growing side-by-side in various types of framed raised beds and showcasing a range of trellises and season extenders. MG Digging Deeper presentations are free, open to all, no registration required, so bring an interested friend or neighbor. Presentations are outdoors, so dress for the weather.
