WSU Stevens County Master Gardeners and the Colville Community Garden present Sowing Seeds for Supper. This workshop will offer 13 gardening and three food preservation workshops on Saturday, March 27, 8:15 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. for this second annual event.
Keynote speakers Debbie Esvelt, Nancy Sharp and Judy Blair from the Colville Community Garden will share opportunities at the new Colville Community Garden.
“If you lack a garden-ready spot for planting seeds this spring, are worried about having enough water for a garden or want to go organic this season then the community garden may be your solution,” explained Ivy Nelson of WSU Stevens County Extension. “Remember, a community that sows together grows together.”
Following the keynote speakers, each participant will be able to take four courses ranging from beginning gardening to preserving the harvest.
Here is a sample of the classes offered:
Common Inland Northwest Garden Pests and Diseases-Gardening can be challenging in this variable Inland Northwest climate. Part of having a successful garden is learning to recognize and control the most common garden pests and diseases. This class will introduce the most common pests and diseases, and suggest methods to control them.
Culinary Herbs-A growing favorite is culinary herbs. Learn the best varieties for our climate, when to plant and when to harvest, and how to use herbs to punch up your recipes with edible and delicious plants.
Weed identification-Learn about invasive and common weeds found in and around the garden.
Pressure Canning-Preserve what you grow by pressure canning. Learn about food safety, equipment needed, resources, and steps for pressure canning.
Registration deadline is March 23. Registration fee is $15.
