  3. Thanks so much for your kind words. This is an all volunteer project made up of people who give of their time and effort to support our community, especially in regards to gardening. We have several other writers in addition to myself, some of whom are professionals, retired professors, and/or avid and educated gardeners. We're supported by, and we support Benton County Master Gardeners, the Corvallis Evening Garden Club, the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition, the City of Corvallis Civic Beauty and Urban Forestry Group, and Corvallis Parks and Recreation.

    Going through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!

    He always kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this post
    to him. Fairly certain he's going to have a good read.

    Thanks for sharing!
