Event looks at landscaping in the age of climate change
MOSES LAKE — A whole new dimension of gardening will be on display in Moses Lake next week. “We’re looking at the gardening effects of climate change, for the public to learn about how climate change is going to affect gardening,” said Mark Amara, with the Washington State University Extension Grant-Adams Master Gardeners. The Columbia Basin Conservation District and the Master Gardener program will host the sixth annual Columbia Basin Eco-Gardening Symposium on April 22, which is also Earth Day. The event, held at the Columbia Basin Technical Skills Center, goes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will include speakers, vendors, exhibitors and even a few door prizes.
