• What to do with the newly divided roots
• How to care for the newly divided plants
We will be outside for the duration of this workshop and will be standing and walking. Surfaces are grassy, graveled and paved. Please plan clothing and footwear accordingly.
Seating is limited and you are welcome to bring your own chair.
Meet at the Gazebo.

Hosted by the WSU Thurston County Extension Master Gardener Program.
Directions:
Closed Loop Park is located inside the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center (WARC) at 2420 Hogum Bay Rd. NE, Lacey WA 98516. Take Exit 111 off of I-5, and travel north and turn right into the WARC entrance. Upon entering take the first right into the garden/dog park parking lot. You’ll see a small sign that says “Dog Park” at the entry to the parking lot.
Note: If you miss the first right into the garden/dog park parking lot you will need to follow the road to the intersection before the toll booths. You’ll need to do a U-turn and return back to Hogum Bay Road to start the process again.
