MASTERGARDENER Gardeners mec:t with ]00lorthwest legend Hume ome of the Mason County Washington State University Master Gardeners had a rare opportumty to spend an afternoon with local gardening legend Ed Hume this week. As a young wife and mother, I would watch Ed&apos;s show on Saturday mornings and get ideas for what to do in the yard of our new home in Lacey. He would always promote the Master Gar- dener program, and being a WSU alum, it was an even greater enticement to someday take training and become one. In 1997. we purchased a home on Oak- land Bay in Mason County and my dream came true. I completed the training in December of that year and by 1999 was fortunate to be hired as an office assistant at the WSU Ex- tension office. The rest, as they say, is history. I am now a full-time manager of both the Master Gardener and Food Sense Nutrition programs. When I met Ed recently, I told him he is responsible for my career, and it is so true. What a treat to have a tour of the Children's Garden out- side of the Ed Hume Seed Company in Puyallup, led by Ed himself. The reason for our tour was to garner ideas for the Children's Garden to be installed at Catalyst Park, and boy did we get ideas! His gar- den is ' divided into several areas, each with By JEANNE a name. REHWALDT We went through gardens such as Japanese, topi- ary, bird, blind, puzzle, carnivorous plants, Na- tives, herbs and more! You may wonder what a puzzle garden is. It is cleverly designed for children to guess puzzles with clues. He had a stick with a ce- ramic dog sitting on it. What do you think that stood for? Dogwood! Other clues included a toy rat " sitting on a saucer, for raddish (rat-dish) and a cube of butter in a cup, for buttercup. We learned the prin- ciples of Japanese garden design. It made us think this would be a good topic for a Country Liv- Courtesy pnoto Author and TV host Ed Hume reaches for a telephone in the children's garden located outside of the Ed Hum Seed Co. in Puyallup. The phone was a clue in a set of puzzles for children to solve. The Mason County Master Gardeners hope to install a similar garden i Catalyst Park in Shelton. ing workshop this winter. How many readers of this column would be interest- ed in a class on Japanese garden design or Bonsai? The committee putting together the lineup of classes for this winter is looking for ideas. Please contact me with gardening topics you want to learn more about. At the end of our tour with Ed, one of the em- ployees showed us how they put seeds in packets using a machine called a ballard, then he gave us each three packets of his seeds, including a flower mix for children's gardens. Employees had juice and cookies for us and his book "Gardening with Ed Hume Northwest Gardening Made Easy" was offered to us (autographed person- ally by Ed) at a significant discount. To top it off, he donated $5 from each purchase back to the WSU Mason County Master Gardener program. What a treat it was to learn from a gardening icon and spend the af- ternoon with some of the Master Gardeners. Two lucky family members will be receiving a copy of Ed's book as a Christmas present this year from me, and what fun it will be to share the memory of this day with them. If you have any gardening questions, please don't hesitate to call me at 427-9670, ext. 688 or email to rehwaldt@ wsu.edu.
