Our classes will be taught by Master Gardener Phyllis Pugnetti.

She is passionate about finding and saving good seeds, and educating those who are interested in knowing more about good gardening practices. She teaches with fun facts, interesting stories and a lot of enthusiasm!
Participants who complete the Basic class are granted membership to the Master Gardener Seed Library, filled with flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables that flourish in the Yakima County climates. Many are Heirloom varieties with their enhanced flavor and other desirable characteristics. The Yakima Master Gardener’s Seed Library has 180+ seed varieties available to it’s members. When you borrow seeds, you can replenish the library from your abundance at the end of the next season, thus contributing to the success of the Master Gardener Seed Library for future gardeners.
