Answers to these and hundreds of other garden and landscape questions may be as close as your computer at a new Internet website launched by Washington State University Cooperative Extension for plant lovers in Western Washington. Master Gardeners are university-trained volunteers who serve as educators in their communities. We felt we needed to move ahead with this new technology.
Information is available in a variety of formats at the site.
You also can search all of the information at the site by typing in a key word or go to the library and leaf through online editions of numerous extension garden publications. A number contain color illustrations to help you identify insect pests and diseases plaguing your yard. If that doesn't satisfy your curiosity, sign on to the Master Gardener Forum. You also will learn if Master Gardeners have planted a demonstration garden in your area and find out about opportunities for you to become a Master Gardener yourself. The site has links to other interesting sites on the web as well, including Composting with Red Wiggler Worms, a Canadian site, and the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Seattle.
