1st Saturday with Master Gardeners – Holiday Plants for the Home

One sure-fire way to add cheer to the holiday home is with a brightly flowering plant. Poinsettias in their many new colors, a Christmas cactus, or an amaryllis are popular holiday plants and are widely available in our area.

The final 2018 workshop will look at the plants that we receive as gifts this time of year, covering cultural history and the needs of these plants.

• Christmas Tree
• Amaryllis
• Christmas Cactus
• Mistletoe
• Poinsettia
• Holly

Master Gardeners will also demonstrate the best way to force bulbs, such as crocus, snowdrops, and anemone. Take home the bulb that you have potted up during class to enjoy this winter.

 
After the workshop there will be a Plant Clinic in the meeting room. The Plant Clinic team will be there to research any questions you might have. If you do have a plant question, please bring a sample of that plant with you, preferably in a sealed plastic bag.Bring your gardening questions or bring examples of problems you are experiencing in your garden.

Reasonable accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities and special needs who contact Toni Gwin, WSU Extension, P.O. Box 88, South Bend, WA 98586, 360 875-9331; tgwin@wsu.edu at least two weeks prior to the event.
