Dr. Lauri Reinhold will give an overview of the National Clonal Germplasm
Repository (NCGR) in Corvallis and the clonally propagated collections conserved there. Dr. Nahla Bassil will describe what we learn from using the DNA tools her team develops with examples in black raspberry, blackberry, mint, blueberry, strawberry and pear. The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the USDA’s chief scientific in-house research agency. Their mission is to deliver scientific solutions to national and global agricultural challenges.
In cooperation with the OSU Extension Service, the Washington County Master Gardener Association (WCMGA) provides relevant, research-based education and outreach to the public about horticulture and household pests. This information promotes sustainable practices that minimize risks to human health and the environment. The Washington County Master Gardener Association (WCMGA) sponsors a wide variety of gardening–related demonstrations, lectures, seminars and workshops in various Washington County Oregon locations. Most of our events are free and open to the public. The WCMGA is a 501c3 non-profit supported by hundreds of volunteers, who work to educate the public about sustainable, affordable gardening.
