On Saturday, Feb. 25, Pacific County master gardeners will sponsor their first 2017 workshop, Backyard Pruning for Fruit Trees and Berries, at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco. Pruning is vital to plant health and reinvigorates plants. Now is the time to effectively prune ahead of spring. At this workshop, taking place from 10 to 11:30 a.m., participants will learn to prune effectively and safely. Attendees should dress for the weather. After the workshop, join master gardeners as they practice pruning outdoors in the mu- seum’s native plant Discov- ery Garden, located behind the museum’s parking lot. The museum is located on 115 SE Lake St. The Washington State University Extension Service’s Master Gardeners of Pacific County continue their fifth year of sponsor- ing a series of gardening workshops in conjunction with the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum. The intent of this joint venture is to renovate and maintain a Pacific County master gardener garden at the museum.
