PORT ANGELES — Home gardeners can get end-of-summer garden advice from local experts during the final “Lunch in the Garden” walk, slated at the Fifth Street Community Garden, 328 E. Fifth St., from noon to 1 p.m. Friday.

The event, sponsored by WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners, features local Master Gardeners leading a walk through the community garden to show home gardeners what needs to be done in vegetable gardens each month and what problems are likely to appear.

This month, veteran Master Gardeners Bob Cain, Laurel Moulton and Jeanette Stehr-Green will talk about harvesting pumpkins, covering crops, saving seeds, putting the garden to bed for the winter and more.

They also will answer questions and share recipes that use fresh local produce.

“Lunch in the Garden” is free and open to the public.

The Fifth Street Community Garden is located off Peabody Street, across from City Hall.

The garden includes more than 50 individual plots that are each 9 feet by 12 feet. The garden was developed on city property in 2011 with a vision to connect people to the Earth and their community through growing food.
