WSU Grant-Adams Area Master Gardener Program

             

Schedule

WSU Master Gardener Volunteers are available to address your home gardening questions.  As our county has undergone many budget/personnel changes in the past couple years, this has impacted how our Master Gardener Volunteers communicate with the public.  

You may contact a WSU Master Gardener Volunteer with your home gardening questions through the following e-mail address: ga.mgvolunteers@ad.wsu.edu.  Messages sent to this address will be answered by the Master Gardener volunteers in a timely manner.

For face-to-face contact, or if you have a plant or insect sample that you would like to have identified, please see the Master Gardener volunteers at one of the following Farmers Markets:

  • Moses Lake Farmers Market at McCosh Park
    Saturdays, May 5 through October 27, 2012
    8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 
  • Ephrata Farmers Market at Sun Basin Plaza Rock Park
    on Basin Street
    Saturdays, June 2 through October 1, 2012
    8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
  • Coming soon to Othello and Grand Coulee!  Watch this web page for updates regarding the MG Volunteer participation at these markets.

If you are bringing a sample to a plant clinic for Identification or Diagnosis, please download an instruction flyer here

General information regarding WSU Extension programming in your area may be addressed to: M. Christine Price, County Director

Visit our Drought Tolerant Demonstration Garden at the Moses Lake Public Library, 418 E 5th Avenue. This garden was created to educate gardeners and landscapers on the concepts and opportunities to establish low maintenance landscapes that require little water. The garden is designed and maintained by the Master Gardener Foundation of Grant-Adams Counties in partnership with the City of Moses Lake, Washington. It is financed by the Master Gardener Foundation of Grant-Adams Counties and community donations. See the garden in Summer and in Winter. Our Brochure lists the many plants that are featured in the garden.
