Hazel Dell — Twenty-three local horticultural projects got a $34,774 boost in grants from the Master Gardener Foundation of Clark County in January.
Numerous community groups will be able to pursue environmentally friendly and educational garden projects: 4-H Restorative Community Service Food Bank garden; Washington State University Clark County Extension’s Farm to Fork program; Fort Vancouver historic interpretive garden; Second Step Housing; NatureScaping of Southwest Washington’s wildlife botanical garden Hazel Dell, Illahee and Excelsior school gardens; Vancouver Heights United Methodist Church; Bethel Community Garden; Plant a Row for the Hungry; and the Heritage Farm Organic Demonstration Garden.
The main source of revenue for these grants is the annual Mother’s Day weekend plant sale at the 78th Street Heritage Farm, set this year for May 9 and 10. Visit www.mgfcc.com.
