Bruce Bennett in person at the Richmond Beach Library
Wednesday, August 27
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Richmond Beach Library

Was this the first year you turned that patch of grass into a flower or vegetable bed? Still not sure about seedlings versus seeds, fertilizer N-P-K ratios*, too soon or too late to plant, tools you need versus the ones that are nice to have, etc.? Don't know what you don't know? Then, this may be the class for you that still feels like talking to your neighbor gardener who lives on the other side of your fence. Bring your garden questions as well. Speaker Bruce Bennett is a 20-year veteran of the WSU/King County Master Gardener Program. He is a garden designer, lecturer and contributing garden columnist to many community publications across the state.
