"Art and creativity have been a passion of mine throughout my life. As a teacher, I loved incorporating art and creative expression into my teaching and found it to be a vital learning tool. Starting in midlife, art became more of a personal pursuit toward growth and healing. Now in retirement, nature is my biggest inspiration. I love simple line drawing, watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media." 


Quilter Jean Ludeman's "Welches One Year Weather Chart" is shown in the photo to the left.

Saving Seeds - August 14

Presented by Cindy Manselle, OSU Extension Service Master Gardener™ volunteer.

Saving seeds is an easy and fun skill to learn. Late summer is the perfect time of year to make a plan for saving seeds, whether you hope to save seeds from favorite vegetable varieties or flowers. In this class you will learn what types of seeds are best for saving; when and how to harvest, process and successfully store seeds.

OSU Extension Master Gardeners are volunteer educators, neighbors, and on-the-ground researchers who serve their community with solid training in science-based, sustainable gardening and a love of lifelong learning.

Cindy Manselle has been serving as an OSU Extension Service Master Gardener™ since 2002. She is passionate about teaching others how to have success as a gardener. As an OSU Master Gardener Cindy has served by answering gardening questions at farmers’ market events, coordinating Master Gardener training classes, and teaching a wide array of garden-focused classes to community groups. Cindy’s favorite seeds to save are tomatoes as she likes to grow a wide variety every summer.
