WSU Master Gardener resource: the NEW gardening handbook for home gardeners has arrived!
I’m excited to share that WSU Extension has released a FREE Pacific Northwest Gardeners Handbook designed to support home gardeners, Master Gardeners-in-training, and curious green thumbs everywhere. This in-depth guide covers topics like:
- Basic Botany
- Soil Science & Composting
- Vegetable Gardening & Edible Plants
- Pruning, Greenhouse Management, and Firewise Landscaping
- Pollinators, Pest Control & Climate-Smart Gardening
With examples tailored to Zones 4B–9A, this resource is packed with practical, science-backed info that applies to many climates and regions, and many types of gardening. The download is still free as of November, 2025, so I recommend downloading it now!
