To the editor:

Island County Master Gardeners extend a big thank you to the fantastic instructors who gave of their time instructing the community in a variety of gardening techniques and skills at this year’s gardening workshop.

A big thank you to our sponsors: Skagit Farmers Supply, Whidbey Telecom, Whidbey Island Bank, Whidbey Marketplace and News, Windermere Realty, Diamond Rental, Honeymoon Bay Coffee Company and Popsies Confectionary, and to our many vendors who helped to make this year’s Whidbey Gardening Workshop a huge success.

And to you, the community, for your continued support of our Whidbey Gardening Workshop. Island County Master Gardeners’ goal is to educate the public in good gardening practices, and at this year’s Whidbey Gardening Workshop, how to grow and enjoy those veggies and fruits from the gardens. The day was full of smiles and many positive comments.
