Chelan/Douglas County Master Gardeners

WSU Chelan & Douglas County Master Gardener Volunteers like to get our hands dirty.

We are a group of individuals with diverse backgrounds who share a unifying interest in horticulture. Some of us are generalists and some have specialized interests and knowledge. We all are inquisitive, like to be around other gardeners, and love to share what we know. The Master Gardener Program promotes environmentally responsible gardening practices and addresses environmental and social priorities such as water conservation, the protection of water quality, reducing the impact of invasive species, and healthy living through gardening.

Master Gardeners complete a university course that covers topics such as botany, weed identification, soils, lawn care, pruning, pesticides and insect management, plant pathology and plant problem diagnosis.

We're centered in the Wenatchee valley and serve the entire Chelan & Douglas County area. Find us at activities such as:
