The Secret Garden Tour in Port Townsend

Happening today in Port Townsend! We have sunshine, ocean breezes and a lot of people in town for this annual event. There are nine private gardens on display, all located within walking distance in the Uptown area. Featured gardens will demonstrate things such as drought tolerant and deer resistant plants, shade solutions, and a shared vegetable patch. There will be composting techniques and lots of ideas on landscaping your own backyard.

This event is sponsored by the Jefferson County Master Gardners, a group connected with Washington State University Extension. A Master Gardner is trained under the auspices of WSU to provide information to home gardners about practices for sustainable gardening, pest management, efficient watering systems, soil improvement and choosing proper plants.

In addition, the Master Gardners group does plant clinics, speaker series, youth education, and advanced training. These incredible gardners have their plants and flowers on display at the Jefferson County fair every year and they are truly beautiful and amazing.
