Community Gardens hosting season wrap-up meeting

PORT TOWNSEND — The Jefferson County Community Gardens is hosting a panel discussion tonight to discuss the year’s growth and to strategize for next year.

The meeting will start at 7 p.m. and will be upstairs in the Port Townsend Library at 1220 Lawrence St.

A panel of six gardeners will each give a short presentation regarding their specific gardens, regarding how it differs from the others on the panel, the challenges they faced, what worked well and ideas for solving issues in the following year.

After the panel will be a question-and-answer session with attendees.

All notes from the presentation will eventually be given to the other 22 community gardens in the county.
