 • Now that it’s fall, there is probably a whole new set of gardening issues to get answers for. Head out to the free Master Gardener Clinics today from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Sehmel Homestead Park MG demo garden, Sehmel Drive Northwest and 78th Avenue Northwest, Gig Harbor Peninsula.

 • Plan to celebrate and discover nature at the annual Nisqually Watershed Festival. Put it on your calendar for 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, 100 Brown Farm Road NE, Olympia.

 • If you’ve wanted to check out the museums, Saturday is the day. The Smithsonian Museum Day Live event offers free admission to a variety of museums locally and nationwide. Go to smithsonian.com/musuemdaylive for a complete list of participating museums.
