Topic: Eat Seasonally
from Your Own Back Yard
Speaker: Polly Gottesman
of Pumpkin Ridge Gardens
Anyone who has eaten fresh vegetables from the garden knows how much more flavorful they are than grocery store produce. In the maritime Northwest, we are blessed with a climate that allows gardeners to harvest fresh, healthy vegetables year–round. Polly Gottesman will share her experience growing a wide variety of organic vegetables at Pumpkin Ridge Gardens for the past 23 years.
Come learn about the best varieties, timing, and tips so that you can garden as you
eat—12 months a year!

A garden with no pests, no diseases and no problems! Although it's a sweet dream, it is seldom a reality. An OSU Master Gardener will share information that will help reduce or decrease the chances of developing problems and provide non–synthetic methods for dealing with them if they do occur. Topics will include Integrated Pest Management strategies for pest control and gardening practices that help prevent diseases in your garden.
