Our Foundation is Making a Difference
In 2025, our Master Gardener Program served King County gardening communities in 39 Plant Answer Clinics and 12 demonstration and outreach gardens, through online classes and workshops, serving over 22, 915 clients at clinic events in 2025. Our 622 WSU Extension Master Gardeners spent over 32, 916 hours in service (see full KCMG Program Annual Report).
- We have demonstration gardens throughout King County. We help fund capital expenditures to improve the productivity of our demonstration and outreach gardens. Last year, we donated over 4,895 pounds of produce to local food banks in King County to help address food insecurity.
- We have gardening events in our youth gardens at Magnuson Childrens Garden, Tribal Life Trail, Bellevue Demo Garden childrens garden, and Shorewood High School. This education serves to connect young people with the world around them and teach how plants grow and thrive.
- We connect with home gardeners in urban, suburban, and rural areas. We offer free advice through our Plant Answer Clinics at farmers’ markets and stores and our online email clinic.
