Program Description

Event Details

OSU Hood River Extension Central Gorge Master Gardeners welcome home gardeners of all abilities to attend this interactive presentation which is designed to aid your growth as a gardener.

Participants will learn practical tips that can be put to use at home, including:

  • What makes seeds germinate.
  • How to increase your germination rate.
  • When and how to transplant seedlings.
  • How to care for your seedlings until they can be safely planted outdoors.

This event will be presented by Central Gorge Master Gardeners Paul Matalucci and Dennis Carlson. Matalucci is a flower farmer and owns Apple Core Farm & Cut Flowers near Odell, while Carlson specializes in food production at his homestead garden near Hood River and the FISH Food Bank Garden. Both of these OSU Master Gardener volunteers have extensive knowledge and experience in starting seeds for bountiful harvests.

“You don’t need a greenhouse or fancy equipment. We’ll discuss a few basic supplies and tools to get you started, and share free and valuable resources to help you along the way.” says Matalucci.
