MASTER GARDENER
Plant sale offers source for gems, fun
Pring is the time
for local garden-
ing clubs, school
groups, churches, and
of course the Master
Gardeners to have
plant sales to fund
their projects for the
coming year. I've al-
ready seen several
plant sales advertised By JEANNE
in Mason County, with REHWALDT
many more to come.
When perusing a plant
sale's inventory, a cus-
tomer needs to be
very careful that
the plant you are
admiring is not a
noxious weed. In
the early days of
the MG plant sale,
we unwittingly of-
fered several plants
that turned out to
be on the noxious
weed list of inva-
sive plants. Bronze
fennel, poor man's orchid
and butterfly bush are some
examples. We are fortunate
to have the Mason County
Noxious Weed program lo-
cated at the extension office.
When the MG plant sale
began, Mason County was
one of only two counties in
the state without a weed
board. Pat Grover, coordina-
tor for the program in Ma-
son County, is also a Master
Gardener and has been
very helpful in pointing out
plants that should not be for
sale at our event and iden-
tifying plants being offered
at other plant sales around
the county that are inva-
sive. She will have a display
and be available to answer
questions during our plant
sale Friday and Saturday at
Kneeland park.
WSU Extension is cel-
ebrating its 100th anniver-
sary this year, and the event
in Mason County will be dur-
ing the plant sale on Friday
from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. All
programs will be represented
with displays and staff to
answer questions and share
what is happening around
the county. Many people
think of 4-H, but we also
have Food Sense nutrition,
Shore Stewards and water
quality programs, and the
Master Gardener program.
Please stop by and enjoy a
piece of cake and share how
WSU Extension has affected
your life.
