New addition this year: Do you have a question about gardening but didn’t know who to ask? Here is your chance- ask the garden glove and sunflower pot your question. The glove and the flower will be on-hand to give advice and will show you the way to the Washington State University Master Gardener’s and BI Shore Stewards Advisors information table.

Restrooms will be available inside school building and will be designated with signage. Porta-potties will be available as well.
