Harstine Island Community Club schedules Inquiring Minds program Harstine Island Commu- nity Club, in partnership with Humanities Washing- ton, the Washington State Legislature and the Na- tional Endowment for the Humanities, hosts its third and final session of 2012 Inquiring Minds series at 2 p.m, on Sunday, March 26, at the Harstine Island Com- munity Hall. The speaker for the March program is Joan Hockaday, Bainbridge Is- land author and garden his- torian. Hockaday will share her interests in gardens and natural history with a focus on "Olmsted(s) in the Pacific Northwest: Parks, Gardens and Campus Design." The Olmsted brothers, famous on the East Coast and beyond, traveled west around the turn of the cen- tury to assist with the cre- ation of parks, campuses and boulevards throughout the Pacific Northwest, em- phasizing a reflection of the natural surroundings and native vegetation. There are many exam- ples of Olmsted influence locally, such as Bloedel Preserve on Bainbridge Is- land, Lakewold Gardens, Gravely Lake in Lakewood and Dunn Garden in Se- attle. Today residents see the value of preserving native plants and planting what grows best in our environ- ment, saving plant species, maintenance time and wa- ter. A question Hockaday asks is "Are we a century too late? Or was Olmsted a century too soon?" Come prepared to be challenged and fascinated. The event is free, open to the public and the doors open at 1:30 p.m. Workshop slated for developers, real estate professionals Building, earthwork and landscape con- tractors, landscape designers, engineers, planners and realtors and appraisers: join WSU Extension, Mason County Public Works and the Washington Stormwater Center to learn about low-impact develop- ment in Mason County.
