Grow Fresh Figs Outdoors in Maritime Washington
Fresh figs are delicious, and beneficial for your health. And fig trees produce very well on many sites on Whidbey Island.
However, online information and even nursery catalogs are not always accurate. We will give you the information you need to decide if your site can reliably grow figs, which cultivars we've cropped here, which ones we are still testing, and which to avoid. And we'll show you how to reliably propagate your own trees. The class is made up of a 1 hour slideshow class with questions, followed by an hour of hands-on propagation. You'll go home with your own, self-propagated tree.

Soil is the basis for much of plant agriculture. Knowing your soil is a little bit like knowing how your engine works when you drive a car, or knowing a little about food science when you cook. Our focus in this class is to give you a basic understanding of key elements of soil science that bear directly on the health of your plants, and what you can do about it.
