Garden class set

Come learn the secrets of successfully growing fresh vegetables when Pend Oreille County Master Gardeners present “Growing Vegetables: From Seed to Harvest” gardening class on Thursday, July 11. The class will be held at the WSU/Pend Oreille County Extension Office, 227 S. Garden Ave., in Newport from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

A knowledgeable and experienced team of local Master Gardeners and community gardeners will educate you about popular vegetables that grow well in Pend Oreille County, including cucumbers, beets, beans, onions, corn, carrots, and many others. Class participants will also learn about the fun of earning ribbons and, possibly, money by entering homegrown fruits, flowers and vegetables in the Pend Oreille County and Interstate Fairs.

The cost is $5 for community members (bring a friend, neighbor or spouse for just an extra $2) and $3 for Master Gardeners.

All funds raised from the class will be used by the local Master Gardener Foundation to provide gardening education programs to the community.
