2023 Shoreline Summer Garden Series
The City of Shoreline 2023 Summer Gardening Series are held on Saturdays at 10:00 AM from May 20 through August 26 at various locations in the City of Shoreline (see the list below for locations).
This series is presented by King County Master Gardeners (KCMG) in partnership with the City of Shoreline. Courses will emphasize techniques to prevent or reduce the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other hazardous materials, and the series is funded in part by the Hazardous Waste Management Program.
Master Gardeners will cover a variety of topics from growing juicy tomatoes and plump berries to creating pollinator-friendly habitats and low-maintenance lawns. All courses will include tips and tricks to reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other hazardous materials to help create beautiful landscapes that are easy to care for and healthier for families, pets, the Shoreline community, and Puget Sound.
The series is intended as introductory or refresher classes for individuals interested in learning current, science-based approaches to different topics in gardening. Courses are not approved for Continuing Education (CE) credit for Master Gardeners.
Cost: Advance registration is required for these workshops, and these courses are offered at no cost to Shoreline residents.
