"What the River Keeps" by Cheryl Grey Bostrom (’80 MA English) explores family, forgiveness, redemption, and the beauty and mystery of Washington state’s natural world. Her prose—delicately nuanced, wholly seductive—unfolds cinematically and sings. #WSU #GoCougs magazine.wsu.edu/2025/08/07/w...

#WSU Extension Master Gardener volunteers know the gardening checklist doesn’t end with summer’s harvest! Fall’s a great time to start new projects (garlic bulbs, anyone?).
Connect with your local Extension Master Gardeners for ideas & tips: mastergardener.wsu.edu.
Two Master Gardener volunteers tabling at an outdoor event under an awning. A person is chatting with them and perusing the handouts that neatly line the table. A banner hung behind the volunteers reads "Ask a Master Gardener." The WSU Extension logo is visible at the bottom of the banner.
