ILWACO — WSU Master Gardeners Foundation of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties are sponsoring their next plant clinic and information center for 2025 on Saturday, June 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in the museum’s parking lot, 115 SE Lake Street.
Master Gardener Mike Karvia will demonstrate how to sharpen garden tools. Bring your dull garden tools to learn how to sharpen them effectively and safely at the museum from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring your favorite pruning tools and dress for the weather.
Plant questions or problems? Come ask a Master Gardener anytime between 11 a.m. through 2 p.m. If possible, bring samples of your plant problem.
The workshop, plant clinic and tool sharpening are free and open to the public. Join in for education and fun learning about pruning techniques.
WSU Extension also supports two websites that can help you diagnose your own plant problems.
