Silverdale, Washington has seen some record-breaking highs this summer and what seems like day after day of sun. The Master Gardeners are working hard to keep the Anna Smith beds watered. The garden is truly lush this year.
Local children enjoyed a Worm Bin class recently where they built and populated small worm bins to bring home. The combination of dirt, children and worms made for a 4 star class. The gigantic worm bin and the compost system at Anna Smith garden impressed them as well.
Our new butterfly habitat continues to be a wonderful focal point drawing community members to the garden and delighting the Master Gardeners as well. The pathway to the habitat will be lined with bricks painted and decorated by kids and adults throughout the summer!
