If you’re feeling vitamin deficient, never fear; spring is a great time for fresh produce in Walla Walla. Fruits and vegetables in season for April and May in Washington include broccoli, lettuce, spring peas, kale, artichokes, asparagus and rhubarb. Visit Whitman’s Organic Garden (on the corner of Pacific and Penrose) where volunteer gardeners will be busy planting in preparation for the late summer harvest and enjoy a study break in the gazebo.

“We would absolutely love more hands at open gardens, which will be consistent after break on Mondays from 3-5 p.m., Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. and Fridays from 2-4 p.m. Whitties should also keep their eyes out for posters and e-mails advertising Saturday workshops,” said sophomore Lisa Beneman in an e-mail.

Also check out the Walla Walla Farmers Market’s Facebook page to get excited for this springtime town staple opening May 1, and start researching recipes for rhubarb pie to wow your house and dorm mates with.
