Those who would like a raised bed for their garden at home can apply for a free one through the Home Vegetable Education Garden Program, otherwise known as HomeVeg, which started in 2012.
Ten applicants will be selected to have a raised bed built for them. It will include soil, according to a news release from the Cowlitz County branch of Washington State University Extension.
Applications are due by March 20. To obtain an application, contact Gary Fredricks at 360-577-3014, ext 3. or email garyf@wsu.edu.
The program’s goal is to promote vegetable gardening in Cowlitz County. It is sponsored by the Washington State University Master Gardeners of Cowlitz County.
“Those receiving a raised bed will have access to a mentor to answer their gardening questions,” stated the release.
