Help ‘plant a row’

The Orcas Island Master Gardeners are launching a new “Plant a Row for the Hungry” program at the farmers market starting this Saturday.

The Orcas Island Master Gardeners are launching a new “Plant a Row for the Hungry” program at the farmers market starting this Saturday. Gardeners are to plant some extra seeds in their garden and then, when the crops ripen, to donate their produce to the  food bank.  Sign up to participate in the program with the master gardeners booth at the farmers’ market on Saturdays. Plant a little extra seed in your garden and tend it with the rest of your garden. If you don’t have extra seed, you can get free seed from the Master Gardeners at their booth at the Orcas Island Farmers Market. The Master Gardeners will provide you with instructions on when, where, and how to make your donations. You will also receive stickers that you can use to identify your produce as a PAR donation
