Join us for gardening tips from the Linn County Master Gardeners!

Each Monday in April, volunteers from Linn County Master Gardeners will share gardening tips on various topics for those who want to learn more about gardening best practices. Linn County Master Gardener Sylvia Street will share all about foodscaping!

Companion plants, water, soil and a patch of sunshine will create an edible landscape. Containers and integrating some edibles will not sacrifice the beauty of your space. Consider how to: start small, plant in the right place, and select the produce you like to eat. Your foodscape will benefit the environment for birds and pollinators as well.
