Workshops and Classes
Rain Garden Workshop
Thursday, July 16, 6 – 8:30 p.m., Roadhouse Nursery, Silverdale
The rain runoff from your roof, driveway or patio has to go somewhere. Why not use it to water a beautifully functional, low-maintenance landscape feature? Colorful, lush rain gardens reduce flooding, recharge our drinking water supply, treat pollution and provide habitat for backyard wildlife. Join Washington Sea Grant, Kitsap County Surface and Stormwater Management Program, WSU Kitsap County Extension and other local partners for this free workshop on rain garden installation. Space is limited, so register early via the web or phone:

State of Your Oyster
What is the state of your oyster? At low tide on four days, waterfront property owners can collect oysters or clams from their beaches. WSG will arrange for laboratory analysis of the samples for the presence of harmful bacterial and contamination. WSG will then help participants interpret their test results and, if needed, work closely with them to identify and remedy the sources of contamination. This season’s sampling dates are:
- Sunday, June 21; low tide (-3.4) at 10:24 a.m.
- Sunday, July 19; low tide (-2.5) at 9:15 a.m.
- Sunday, Aug. 16; low tide (-1.3) at 7:55 a.m.
To participate, fill out and mail in the downloadable form (PDF; includes location of drop-off sites).
