Mission
As a non-profit organization, the Master Gardener Foundation of Clark County is dedicated to perpetuating the WSU Extension Master Gardener Program of Clark County and supporting the Heritage Farm located on 78th Street in Vancouver Washington. We support the Master Gardener Program and the Heritage Farm as valuable resources for research based horticultural practices that preserve and enhance our environment.
