Gina Smith has worked for many years to help restore the prairies of the south Puget Sound, one of Washington’s rarest ecosystems. These prairies support a remarkable diversity of plants and animals and are home to many threatened and endangered species. In this talk she will discuss the cultural and ecological history of glacial outwash prairies in the south Sound and how land managers from a variety of agencies are working together to restore this exceptional landscape.

Open to the public!
Join us September 26-27, 2025, for the virtual WSU Extension Master Gardener Advanced Education Conference, Cultivating Resilience! Enjoy top-notch classes and instructors, and enhance your sustainable horticulture skills. The conference features live and recorded sessions on research-based gardening and environmental stewardship.
Make a long lasting impact through planned giving to the Master Gardener Foundation of Thurston County.
Master Gardeners are volunteers trained by Washington State University Extension to provide science-based information to home gardeners about best gardening practices.
Master Recycler Composter volunteers are trained on how to reduce waste and increase public awareness of opportunities to prevent waste, recycle and compost in Thurston County.
Our Foundation supports the efforts of both programs through fundraising, organizing educational events, managing demonstration gardens and more. Learn more about the Foundation by visiting the Get to Know Us page.
Ask A Master Gardener! Visit the WSU Thurston County Extension website to get your questions answered by an certified Washington State University (WSU) Master Gardener volunteer. This service is FREE for Thurston County residents.
In 2023 we celebrated our 50th anniversary.
Learn how Master Gardeners are making a difference in today’s world.
Washington State University (WSU) Extension has a webpage full of information and answers for gardeners. This is an excellent resource for whatever garden project you might be undertaking.
