Space is limited to 50 attendees. The Green Thumb Education Series will feature Part 2 of Shelly’s mason bee presentation on October 8th at 1 p.m. which will discuss how to take care of the cocoons that were produced this summer. \n\n\n\nShelly is a 2023 graduate of the WSU Extension’s Clallam County Master Gardener Program. She is a retired wildlife biologist who moved to Port Angeles in 2022 with her husband\, Gary Brundige\, also a Master Gardener and wildlife biologist.
