Ocean Shores Vegetables

‌

Spring is on the way. Or at least it is supposed to be. Our weather here can be up and down, but it is definitely not too early to start planning for the new gardening season.

FEATURED COASTAL PLANT:
Barberry and Bayberry

‌

Barberry and Bayberry are both great shrubs to plant in coastal landscapes. Both prefer cool, wet coastal climates, are strongly deer resistant, and they both survive well in nutrient poor sandy soils.

Volunteers Wanted!

‌

Do you like being outdoors?

Do you enjoy helping others in the community?

If you said “yes” to both questions, then helping at the community garden is for you!

Volunteering at Garden by the Sea allows people to combine their love of the outdoors with a much-appreciated contribution to the Ocean Shores community. We work with individuals’ personal schedules, interests, and abilities to accommodate their needs. Here are a few of the most common ways you can help.

• Come to the garden one day per week to water during the summer.
• “Adopt” a flower bed or other common area of the garden to regularly weed and water during the growing season.
• Attend work parties that are not only productive, but social and fun!

Thank you for considering volunteering at Garden by the Sea. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for our great community of volunteers and gardeners!

If you want to sign up to volunteer, please call us at 425-255-4025 or via email at info@GardenByTheSeaOceanShores.org .
