PORT ANGELES — Rosalie Preble, a veteran Washington State University Clallam County Master Gardener, will provide recommendations for selecting, planting and caring for rhododendrons and azaleas at noon Thursday.

The lecture will be in the county commissioners meeting room (Room 160) at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St.

The presentation is part of the Master Gardeners’ Green Thumb Garden Tips educational series. The series is free and open to the public.
