MG Foundation President's Message

Linda Burshia Battle, MG Foundation President



March is certainly going out like a lamb. The sunny weather has been such a joy.  All of the lovely moisture has made this another beautiful Whatcom County spring, absolutely lush with blooms and blossoms.

Work is starting in the gardens at Hovander and the Roeder home.  Community garden volunteers are also stirring. This is spring!  Gardeners love the planning phase of what to plant and where, how to improve the soil, and nurturing the starts;  but the actualization part is the most fulfilling. The cool soil invites us and reminds us of what our gardens will become.  We pull weeds, transplant, mulch, prune and trim, all with the vision of the unfolding beauty as the season progresses.

The new class helped make planting day a success. Another reminder that the annual plant sale is just around the corner. Another year to look forward to and be involved with in any or all of the gardens and opportunities available to Whatcom County Master Gardeners. Dig in! There are lots of opportunities to challenge and enrich you.

Enjoy these sunny days in the gardens.

Linda Burshia Battle
