Providing Funding for Master Gardener Programs

Master Gardener Foundation of Clallam County

The Master Gardener Foundation of Clallam County (MGFCC) is a non-profit volunteer organization that serves the people of Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. The mission of the Foundation is to educate individuals in applying horticultural science to manage their landscapes and gardens in a science-based, sustainable manner, and to utilize Demonstration Gardens as resources in this pursuit. The Foundation accomplishes this through its partnership with the Washington State University (WSU) Master Gardener (MG) Program, local community professionals and organizations.


What’s Happening Now

2025 Plant Sale

Thank You for Supporting the 2025 Clallam County Master Gardener Plant Sale!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out to support this year’s Clallam County Master Gardener Plant Sale. Thanks to you, the event was a tremendous success!

It was a joy to host, and we were thrilled to see so many friends—old and new—sharing in the excitement of spring gardening. Your enthusiasm, generosity, and community spirit make this event possible year after year.

All proceeds from the sale help support our local demonstration gardens, educational programs, and outreach efforts throughout Clallam County. We couldn’t do it without you!

With gratitude,
The Clallam County Master Gardeners

Petals & Pathways Home Garden Tour

The Petals & Pathways Home Garden Tour will be in Sequim this year with eight outstanding gardens. The tour is on June 28th from 10am – 4pm. All the gardens will have Master Gardeners on site to assist and inform the garden enthusiast.

The Master Gardener Foundation of Clallam County hosts these tours of fabulous gardens that homeowners have offered to show for the Foundation’s fundraiser.

Additional Information

This year, we are pleased to announce our Partnership with the Lions Club annual Crab Feed. The Crab Feed, Pizza, Live Music and Beer & Wine will be set up at Pioneer Park, Garden #8, 1pm to 5pmPay on location for this Lions Club Fundraiser.

The tour gardens are all playfully named for their uniqueness. “Second Chance,” is an excellent example of Intentional Landscaping. The homeowner knew what he wanted and designed a plan to successfully achieve his landscaping goals. This property is a beautiful and whimsical retreat for family and friends. There are other Intentional Landscapes like, “Harvest Haven” with its sustainable and healthy gardens for the kitchen and table. Learn new varieties and techniques in growing nutritious food. On the tour is Sequim’s Community Organic Garden where you can grow your own food in your own plot. “Sanctuary for Humans & Wildlife” is intended for pollinators, birds, and native plants and provides food for all life. This Garden surrounds a beautifully restored log home. The 2025 tour features the canopy of 193 trees in the newly designated Arboretum of Pioneer Memorial Park and 90 trees on “One Horse Ranch.”

Beautiful trees, sustainable and intentional gardening seems to run through all our garden choices this year along with the many differences each garden has to offer. The Master Gardener Foundation Selection Team selects gardens that have special things to offer the community with ample and safe parking.
