Explore the basics of successful vegetable gardening in the Pacific Northwest—from seed to table. Classes are taught by educators from Harvest Pierce County (a program of the Pierce Conservation District) and Pierce County Planning and Public Works. 

All classes will be offered in person, in either an indoor classroom or outdoor with a demonstration. Indoor classes will have a virtual zoom option, outdoor demonstration classes will not. Please pay close attention when registering to make sure you are registering for the version you prefer.  You will receive a confirmation email once you register, and if appropriate, you will receive Zoom links 2-3 business days ahead of the class.

Indoor classroom options are located at the WSU Research and Extension Center in Puyallup 

WSU Puyallup Extension: Allmendinger Center, 2606 W. Pioneer, Puyallup

A map to the WSU facility with detailed information about parking is located here. 

Outdoor Demonstration classes are either located at 

• The Victoria Room (Master Gardener Demo Garden, across the street from the WSU Research and Extension Center) - 2607 West Pioneer, Puyallup
• The Farm at Franklin Pierce - 9516 Waller Road E, Tacoma

Most classes are Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM Pacific time, with some of the demonstration classes being from 1pm - 3pm.  For any questions please contact Kristen McIvor at KristenM@piercecd.org or 253-363-1846

All classes are FREE. Be sure to register to reserve your spot! We will be limiting reservations this year to ensure participation does not exceed building capacity. 

In past years, participants have been able to register for multiple classes with a single registration.  This year we are requiring that each class be registered for individually.  Thanks for your understanding with this change.
