Whidbey Gardening Workshop (WGW26)!
Our Sponsors
WE WON!!
The Island County Master Gardener Foundation and its Whidbey Gardening Workshop (WGW) was the recipient of the 2025 International Master Gardener David Gibby Award for Community Service Excellence. The 2026 WGW will be our 37th year of providing top-notch education and community outreach to gardeners across the upper PNW.
If you attended the 2025 workshop, you will recognize the structure of WGW26. Again, we will offer amazing classes, demonstrations, Make-n-Take classes, a plant clinic, and our ever-popular Marketplace where you can browse vendors’ and non-profit organizations’ booths for advice, gardening tools, books, décor, and have a cup of coffee and a snack at the 4-H booth.
Our theme this year is “Celebrate the Promises of Spring” The workshop falls on the second full day of spring; a time when all gardeners are excited for the promise of longer days, warmer weather, and when early blooming plants are in flower and leaves are beginning to emerge.
The 2026 WGW will focus on the Master Gardener Local Food Priority. Through this priority Master Gardeners teach sustainable techniques for growing local food to improve individual and community health and wellness. Our local food priority series of classes and a panel discussion will provide ample opportunity for workshop attendees to learn more about growing your own food or how to obtain local food grown by others.

Thanks much for attending WGW26 and we look forward to seeing you in March!
