Home gardeners can get timely advice from local experts about vegetable and berry gardening from noon-1 p.m. Friday, July 10, at the Fifth Street Community Garden, 328 E. Fifth St., Port Angeles.

The event is part of Lunch in the Garden, an educational series sponsored by WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners on the second Friday of each month through September.

Each month local Master Gardeners lead a fast-paced, one-hour walk through the community garden to show home gardeners what needs to be done in vegetable gardens and berry patches at that time and what problems are likely to appear. During these walks, Master Gardeners also will answer questions from local gardeners.

This month veteran Master Gardeners Bob Cain, Laurel Moulton, Audreen Williams and Jeanette Stehr-Green will talk about water conservation, harvesting garlic, renovation of June-bearing strawberries, planting a fall garden and more.

Cain joined Master Gardeners in 2009 and was Clallam County Master Gardener Foundation president from 2011-2013.

Moulton has been a Master Gardener since 2006 and coordinated the WSU Master Gardener Program in Clallam County from 2012-2014.

Williams joined Master Gardeners in 2012 and was the 2014 Clallam County Veteran Master Gardener of the Year co-recipient.

Stehr-Green has been a Master Gardener since 2003 and was the 2012 Clallam County Veteran Master Gardener of the Year.

Together these Master Gardeners have more than 100 years of vegetable and berry gardening experience.

Lunch in the Garden walks are free and open to the public. The walks are ideal for persons starting a vegetable garden for the first time and gardeners who are new to the Pacific Northwest but also are beneficial to the more experienced gardener.

The Fifth Street Community Garden is just off Peabody Street, right across from City Hall. The garden includes over 50 individuals plots that are each 9 feet by 12 feet. The garden was developed on city property in 2011 with a vision to connect people to the earth and their community through growing food.
