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.
