Dahlias in the spotlight at Sequim garden series

SEQUIM — Jan Danford, a Washington State University master gardener since 2014, will share information about keeping dahlias healthy all year round.

Danford will present her expertise at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Master Garden Demonstration Garden, 2711 Woodcock Road, part of the “Saturdays in the Garden” lecture series.

Danford shared honors as Intern of the Year 2014 and Master Gardener of the Year 2016. She is the chair of the Garden Operating Committee and devotes volunteer hours to the shrub garden and the dahlia bed at Woodcock.

Danford also coordinates the Boys & Girls Clubs Garden Club. She was an educator in the Department of Defense Schools for children of military dependents overseas and retired to Sequim after most recently serving children in Japan.

The Ward Road Bridge over the Dungeness River east of the garden is under construction, so drivers should plan to travel from the west from Cays Road.
