This calendar is the place to find fun events happening throughout Grays Harbor County including Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Westport, Ocean Shores, Elma, Montesano and beyond.
Bill Brookreson, chair of the South Sound Chapter of the Washington Native Plants Society will begin the day with a talk at the Grays Harbor Community College where we will learn the ins and outs of our unique coastal ecosystems. Then we will head out into one of CRBLT’s most beautiful properties to shine a new light on the flora of our PNW coastal lowlands. Prepare for a short drive (carpooling is encouraged!) from the Grays Harbor College to our 175-acre surge plains to enjoy a beautiful nature walk. Be sure to bring rain gear, boots, or sunscreen as needed for a walk in unpredictable weather!
The Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties Master Gardeners will hold a free plant clinic. Guests are invited to bring a planter or pot with soil as they receive assistance from the master gardeners on how to create a quaint and cute fairy garden. Reservations are not required.
All attendees will receive a 10% discount on plants. All ages are welcome. Folks are also welcome to bring random plant and gardening questions to get advice from the master gardeners.
The nursery at the winery has a nice array of plants including perennials, shrubs, trees and fruits. All herb starts, vegetables, baskets, planters and annuals are 40% off.
Join the library at the Cultivating Roots Community Garden for stories, art and science projects, tours of the garden, and more! This event is part of Summer Reading, a Timberland Regional Library districtwide program.
The 2017 Annual Garden Tour features five delightful gardens a short drive away in the Raymond area of Pacific County. Choose your own starting point, and visit all or as many gardens as you want. This is a self-guided tour. All proceeds benefit the WSU Master Gardener educational program of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties.
