Anna Plager will present “Woodcock Demonstration Garden – Then and Now – 1987 to 2021” from 10:30 a.m.-noon on Saturday, July 24, on Zoom.

Plager will discuss highlights of the past three decades at Clallam County Master Gardeners’ showpiece demonstration garden, located at 2711 Woodcock Road.

Many photos from the archives will show the original bare field growing into the bloom-packed pathways of today. She will talk about major challenges of the past as well as some creative new ideas coming into fruition. The primary features of the garden continue to evolve with volunteer efforts.
