Have a plant or gardening question or problem? Visit the Master Gardeners at the Renton Farmers Market from 3:00–6:00 every week. They are available to help you: manage your gardens and landscapes in a science-based, sustainable manner; address environmental and social priorities such as water conservation and water quality protection; reduce the impact of invasive species; and, increase public awareness of healthy living through gardening.
