Subject: [UrbanCropCircle] Floating Farmers' Market/ Native Plant Salvage	Event Nov. 6

Dear fellow gardeners:
Diane Zebert was kind enough to pass on some emails she received concerning events of interes
t to our group. The first is a "Floating Farmer's Market" at South Lake Union. The second is a 
volunteer opportunity to save native plants. Volunteers will be permitted to take home some natives.

#1 - Floating Farmer's Market

I just wanted to share with you that Dave has started a floating farmers market -- the first one of its kind 

here in the Puget Sound area will be held at South Lake Union --of course on the water in classic wooden 
yachts!  Every Wed this month from noon till 7:00 pm -- if you have time -- and need some fresh produce 
(mostly organic) - please stop by and visit!  (Near the Wooden Boat Center on South Lake Union)

The City of Seattle just opened the South Lake Union Park on September 25th -- but of course the waterfront has 

been there for years!  The idea  is to connect the history of the local maritime/classic wooden yachts 
with farm and craft  goods that can be delivered to local ports here in Puget Sound!

If interested you can check out www.farmboat.org for more info! We would love the support of our neighbors!

All the best,
Pamela & Dave

We’re digging up native plants and need your help!
Join other volunteers digging up trees and shrubs in the morning from this site scheduled for development 
In the afternoon, we’ll be potting up the salvaged plants so they can recuperate before going to King County 
habitat restoration sites. Once replanted, these native plants will help reduce erosion, shade streams and 
provide habitat. Special thanks to Yarrow Bay Holdings for providing the salvage site.
