Get Started Right!
These tips are a must for proper caring of a rose garden! Learn the when, what, how & why for buying, planting & seasonal care of your roses!
On Saturday, April 23rd, we will plant seeds to celebrate Earth Day (technically, Earth Day is Friday, but everyday should be Earth Day, anyway). Kids of all ages can come and plant the seed of their choice and take them home to nurture. Help them appreciate the earth and feel more connected to nature as they watch their seed sprout into a plant, with just a bit of care.
Best Family Farms will be partnering with us and will give a free Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin to every child that keeps their plant alive until September! So, bring the family, have some fun, and celebrate what our Earth has to offer.
This is a FREE event.
Come on out to our Cub Cadet Test Drive Experience at The Power Shop on April 30th. We will have lots of mowers to drive so you can pick the perfect one! All Echo, Shindaiwa & Bear Cat equipment will be 20% off for that 1 day only!
KMNT Radio will be live on location with giveaways, include South Sound Speedway tickets and chances to win Kenny Chesney tickets!
We will be serving lunch from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m..

We will fill up the 10:00 o’clock tour first – and if the demand is as we hope – we will fill up the 2:00 pm tour.

Each tour will last approximately two hours and will begin at HubBub at (505 N Tower Ave.). Please arrive fifteen minutes before tours are to begin. Things to note: •Wear comfortable shoes
•Prepare for the weather
•Although many of the buildings are ADA accessible, some are not. There are at least six staircases to negotiate.
If you haven’t been to a WSU Lewis County Master Gardener Plant Sale, you don’t know what you’ve been missing.

Join us to attack the invasive blackberry and Scots broom that threaten our beautiful natural area. We’ll also remove plant protectors that are no longer needed.
Bring work gloves, garden clippers and a water bottle; bring your lunch if you’d like to relax after the work and enjoy the trail (and maybe watch the eagles!!).
We will provide weed wrenches for the BIG stuff, and lots of encouragement.
