Registration for the 2027 Yamhill County Master Gardener Program is now open! 🎉 Visit the link to register: beav.es/YL9

🌱 Becoming an OSU Master Gardener involves a two-step process: completing the training program and passing a review exam, and applying the knowledge gained through the training modules to provide gardening information to the public through a minimum of 50 volunteer hours with the OSU Master Gardener Program. The Master Gardener training classes will be held in a hybrid format, with virtual classes and in-person workshops, whose attendance is required.

If you enjoy learning about gardening, sharing your knowledge with others, and volunteering in your community, you should consider becoming a Yamhill County Master Gardener Volunteer.

We wanted to extend a big thank you to everyone involved in the Yamhill Food Project (YFP). YFP hosted its 4th food collection day for YCAP food pantries on October 3rd, and the Neighborhood Coordinators and their food donation teams donated, 1,370lbs of food for our Yamhill neighbors! To date, YFP has collected over 4,600lbs of food. All food goes to YCAP for distribution through their partnered food pantries.

Wildfire smoke is expected to affect air quality across western Oregon this week as winds shift from the west to the east.
Smoke can affect anyone's health, especially children, older adults, pregnant people, and those with heart or lung conditions. Take steps to reduce your exposure by staying informed about air quality and limiting time outdoors when smoke levels are high.
