WSU Master Gardener Program
Working with Youth

Grays Harbor County and Pacific County reach youth in their respective areas through a Master Gardener Youth Committee. The committee is dedicated to the education of horticulture for children from preschool through high school.

The Master Gardeners involved in the youth committee have created fun and educational programs to share in our schools’ classrooms. Master Gardeners have presented plant-based lessons at local schools, created backyard wildlife habitats, created a historical garden and sponsored a Garden Contest with the 4-H Youth Development program..  

Not only are Master Gardeners working in the classroom, but they also coordinate children's activities at the Home and Garden Show each spring at the Grays Harbor Fairgrounds.

If you are interested in starting a gardening program in your school with the help of Master Gardeners, please call the Grays Harbor County Extension Office at 360-482-2934 or send an e-mail message to Don Tapio.
