About Arthur Fuller:

From a start as a Pennsylvania boy helping in his grandparents’ garden, working 10 years in the steel mills, a 30-year career as a naval engineer and finally a Master Gardener volunteer.

During his naval career Art met his wife of 34 years, Willow, who was a Navy welder. 

In 2005 they ended up in Winlock, WA. His military career allowed him the opportunity to live and garden in Hawaii, California and finally Washington. Gardening has been a new experience at every location. He retired in 2012 from the military and decided that he wanted to learn how to be a good steward of their property while keeping much of the property natural while raising edibles. After reading about the Master Gardener program, he signed up and became a Master Gardener in 2014 and after completion took on the title of “Lewis County Master Gardener’s Volunteer Coordinator” for four years before retiring again and becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer.
