Coming up . . .

The garden, yard, and lawn are getting pushed aside as cookie-baking, gift-giving, and tree-trimming take center stage.

This week Leach Botanical Garden is in the holiday spirit with a children's program that focuses on the cold weather coming up. There will be crafts and cookies. Call for details (503) 823-9504.
Wednesday, December 2nd, 10:00 am to 11:00 am.

Making your own wreaths and centerpieces this year? For some unusual greens to decorate the house inside and out, Leach Botanical Garden is the place.
Friday and Saturday, December 4th and 5th, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

But, are you still thinking about the 2009 vegetable garden?
Are you already planning the 2010 vegetable garden?
Chip Bubl, Columbia County Extension Agent, can help you out with Hot Topics in Vegetables and Other Botanically Interesting Discoveries. You want your garden to be up-to-date, don’t you?
Washington County Master Gardeners; CAPITAL Center (18640 NW Walker Rd., # 1411); Thursday, December 3rd, 7:15 - 8:15 p.m.
