The next class in the Savvy Gardener series being held at Woodinville Water District is, "Drip Irrigation 101 - Easy, Cheap & Your Garden Will Love It!". This class will be taught by Susie and Kevin Egan, owners of Cottage Lake Gardens, a private garden and plant nursery in Woodinville. The drip system they installed at Cottage Lake Gardens covers one-acre with three separate systems totaling 20 different zones.

The class will be held from 10 - 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 16 at Woodinville Water District's public meeting room located in Building A at 17238 NE Woodinville-Duvall Road, Woodinville.

A Master Gardener Clinic will also be held for a half hour prior to and after the class.  You can come to the Master Gardener Clinic even if you are not able to attend the class.  The Master Gardener Clinic is staffed by WSU Extension Master Gardeners who will be available to answer your gardening questions.  Master Gardeners are volunteers, trained by WSU, to provide research-based information to home gardeners on environmentally friendly gardening practices and safe pest control. 

Attendees are encouraged to bring samples of diseased plants or pest specimens (in a plastic bag or other container) for identification or diagnosis including recommendations on how to deal with them in the least toxic way.  If you cannot come in person, you can also email questions to the Master Gardeners E-Clinic at ask-a-mastergardener@live.com.
