Selinda Barkhuis presents information on two varietals of grapes intended for consumption while fresh — as opposed to grapes grown for wine production, juice production or for drying into raisins — with “Table Grapes,” starting at noon on Thursday, Oct. 10, in the county commissioners’ meeting room of the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.

This presentation, part of the Green Thumb Gardening Tips Education Series sponsored by the WSU Clallam County Extension Master Gardeners, is free and open to the public; however, donations to help offset costs are accepted and appreciated.

Barkhuis will review her experience growing Himrod and Einset grapes. She’ll share a collection of photographs and hopes to present actual table grapes picked fresh from the vine. She will also discuss considerations for selecting the location and support system for planting grapes and provide tips on how to keep grape vines pruned.

Barkhuis has grown table grapes for several years on her city lot in central Port Angeles where she uses intensive, organic gardening techniques to grow a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Her property was featured in the 2012 Master Gardeners Petals & Pathway Garden Tour and has been a regular presenter of the Green Thumb Gardening Tips Education Series on a wide variety of gardening topics since then.

Green Thumb presentations are from noon-1 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday each month (except November, December and January, when one presentation is offered). The lectures provide home gardeners with education on gardening topics relevant to planting and maintaining sustainable gardens and landscapes in Clallam County.
