Pend
Oreille County has over 60 WSU Master Gardeners who donate their
time to community service. Their main purpose is to transfer university-tested
gardening expertise on to members of the community. Our volunteers
provide information on a variety of horticultural topics including
selection, planting and maintenance, environmentally sound gardening
practices, pest identification and management, and FireWise landscaping
practices. The Master Gardeners maintain a Water-Wise Demonstration
Garden at the CREATE Place, 4th and Fea, in Newport.
If you require the services of a Master Gardener send
email to cmack@wsu.edu, or
phone 509-447-2401.
