If you love gardening you won’t want to miss the Whidbey Gardening Workshop in Coupeville on March 20. It is an all day affair with an amazing group of workshops, and a keynote address by Valerie Easton. Valerie writes about gardens and houses for Garden Design, Metropolitan Home and the Seattle Times ,and lives and gardens in Langley. The cost of this incredible day is $35 for the workshop and $8 for lunch. There are over 50 classes to choose from, and yes, one of them is “Chickens in Your Garden.”
There are a wide range of classes to suit diverse interests, like the practical “From the Garden to Your Table” to the more complex “Creating a Backyard Wildlife Habitat”.
You can see the extensive class list to plan your own mix of great classes for the day at Whidbey Gardening Workshop 2010. Mary Fisher, the proprietor of Cultus Bay Nursery in Clinton will be teaching a class, as will Dominique Emerson, a landscape specialist whose beautiful 50 acre garden estate is for sale.

Windermere Real Estate on Whidbey Island is a proud sponsor of this event, and many of us who are Realtors with Windermere are also gardeners. There are few places on this island where majestic views of the Cascades and the Olympic mountains cannot be seen. It is a place of many farms with rail fences and of wind-swept bluffs, and of course sandy beaches covered with driftwood. This island is a place to be close to nature whether you are visiting its many farms or looking for your island home. Visit my website to learn more about this beautiful island.
