Learn to create a wildlife-friendly habitat
at workshop with WSU master gardeners
ILWACO, Wash. — The Wash-
ington State University
Master Gardeners of Pacif-
ic County, in partnership
with the Columbia Pacif-
ic Heritage Museum, are
sponsoring “Creating Wild-
life-Friendly Habitat,” their
third gardening workshop of
the year, on Saturday, Aug.
1 at the museum. The intent

ate a Pacific County Master

covery Garden is located be-
hind the museum’s parking
lot at 115 S.E. Lake St.
The workshop lecture
begins at 10 a.m. Master
gardeners will speak about
native pollinators, creating a
pollinator garden, beneficial
insects, spiders, and other
mini-creators in your gar-
den, plus methods to attract
and keep beneficial insects
and how to certify your gar-
den as a wildlife habitat.
After the workshop, there
will be a work party to spruce
up the Discovery Garden.
Stop by the museum garden
to see the third self-watering
container planter.
If you have plant problems
or questions, ask a master
gardener. The group will be
sponsoring a plant clinic from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the muse-
um. If possible, bring samples
of your plant problem.
The workshop and plant
clinic are free and open to
the public.
Gardeners will also be
selling native plants in
1-gallon and 2-gallon pots.
They have on hand ocean
spray and serviceberry in
limited quantities.
