The Pacific Northwest has a reputation for being rain soaked but as all gardeners of the region know, once July rolls around the tap runs dry for a few months. This talk will look at Del Brummet’s experience creating a climate-adapted garden from scratch and will also draw from his experience working at the Elisabeth Miller Botanical Garden.

Master Gardeners are volunteers trained by Washington State University Extension to provide science-based information to home gardeners about best gardening practices.
Master Recycler Composter volunteers are trained on how to reduce waste and increase public awareness of opportunities to prevent waste, recycle and compost in Thurston County.
Our Foundation supports the efforts of both programs through fundraising, organizing educational events, managing demonstration gardens and more. Learn more about the Foundation by visiting the Get to Know Us page.
