Grow in the Garden with Free Classes

The City of Bellevue and Cascade Water Alliance are launching a series of seven free gardening classes aimed at enhancing the community's gardening knowledge and skills, starting on February 28, 2019. Designed for participants of all skill levels, these classes cover a range of topics, including organic gardening, lawn care, and utilizing small spaces for food production. Notable instructors such as Marianne Binetti and Veralea Swayne will lead the sessions, providing expert advice on creating sustainable and beautiful gardens. Each class will be held at different locations like the Bellevue Botanical Garden and the Bellevue Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden. Attendees will learn valuable techniques for gardening, including selecting appropriate plants for the local climate and effective pest management.

With limited seating available, early arrival is recommended to ensure a spot. This initiative not only equips residents with practical gardening skills but also encourages community interaction and environmental stewardship. By participating, residents can contribute to a greener Bellevue while enjoying the benefits of gardening.
