WSU DIFFERENCE
Master Gardener program suspended due to COVID-19
nother casualty of
the battle to beat the .
OVID-19 virus is the
Washington State University
Mason County Extension
Master Gardener Program.
We are suspending all
group and public activities to
help fight the spread of the
virus. Along with canceling
Gate” workshop, we have shut
down Catalyst Park, includ-
ing the community garden beds and
associated workshops, the food bank
demonstration garden and display
gardens. The plant and pest clinic is
still available by phone and email.
You can email your plant questions
to: masonmastergardener@gmail.
com, use the “Contact Us” section on
the website, or call and leave a mes-
sage at 360-427-9670, ext. 687. As
soon as public policy warrants, we
will be back to full operation.
Unfortunately, the food bank dem-
COME WORSHIP WITH, Us
By J EANNINE
our last “Through the Garden POLASKI

Food Podcast
onstration garden isn’t some-
thing that can be started at
just anytime. Shutting down
now means the crops that
summer are not being plant-
ed and the roughly 2,400
pounds of produce donated to
The Saints’ Pantry food bank
to help your neighbors may
not be available. It is an un-
intended consequence of try-
ing to keep our friends and
neighbors healthy during this crisis. -
But there is something you can do
to help. It harkens to a much earlier
time when the country was dealing
with a different type of war, World
War I and World War 11. Let’s bring
back the concept of the “Victory gar-
den” by creating personal patches to
help in this time of need. With the
increased anxiety of a simple trip to
the grocery store, sheltering, and so-
cial distancing, having your own way
to contribute Will help with your own
are harvested throughout the
”
morale along with helping to ease the
food insecurity of the community.
Victory gardens began in WI ini—
tially to help our allies, then to help
our own war efforts. The gardens
waned after the war but became pop-
ular again in WWII. Residents were
urged to use idle land to plant fruits,
vegetables and herbs to supplement
rations and help lower the cost of
feeding the troops, thus saving money
to be spent elsewhere in the war ef-
fort.
Today’s version of a Victory garden
would help feed your neighbors who
may have trouble getting to the store
regularly or may help those who need
a food bank. As opposed to the his—
torical versions, the current version
should only be on private land and
not be a group activity. If you have
a garden already, just plant a little
more to share. If you haven’t tried
it before, maybe this is your year. If
you have a container and some sun,
plant some tomatoes or vegetables for
, ‘l’
sharing. _
If you need information on gar-
dening to accomplish this, WSU has
wonderful materials available online
at gardeneningwsuedu or send an
email to masonmastergardenerCGi
gmail.com.
Your own personal victory garden
can help ease your anxiety about be—
ing cooped up along with helping win
the struggle against food insecurity.
Let’s make this a community-wide
effort! Send me photos of your gar-
dens and your donated produce to
share on our Facebook page or in a
future article.
Now, if we could only grow toilet
pape'r.
