On October 30 and November 6 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., join the WSU Master Gardeners for a leaf exchange at the Cowlitz County Fairgrounds, Washington Street entrance. Shredded leaves are an amazing organic amendment to put on your garden beds over the winter. Rake up and bag your leaves so gardeners and composters can put them to good use. Bagged leaves may be dropped off on the event day. Leaves only, no weeds. Leaves will be available for pickup on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

Master Gardener volunteers will be on hand to inspect material for drop off and help the event run smoothly. Attendees observe social distance and mask up when participating in the event. For questions about the class, contact Gary Fredricks at 360-577-3014, Ext 3 or email garyf@wsu.edu.
