A Love of Gardening Takes Root

The Yakima Herald – Carol Barany

Ask any Master Gardener and they’ll tell you the same thing. In an increasingly technical age, the simple act of digging in the dirt out in the garden makes life sweeter. For some Master Gardeners, the pleasure of growing a garden of their own isn’t enough. They’re growing great kids by rooting a love of gardening in Yakima’s next generation. What they’ve accomplished is living proof that naturally curious children and gardening are a perfect fit. https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/home_and_garden/a-love-of-gardening-takes-root/article_7a136882-3a21-11e9-a634-8b93695dc805.html

NPR – Cory Turner and Anya Kamenetz
