[UrbanCropCircle] Spring Green

[Paula Jenson]

Dear UCC gardeners,

I hope spring finds you all enjoying the possibilities of
growing, this time of year offers. 
Missing our monthly exchanges, I have been involved in several new
growing adventures.  Please note and
think about participation, I would love to see and barter with you all.

 From Sustainable
Ballard

 

Our next monthly gathering is our Spring Barter Fair where
all things spring, garden and food will be bartered.  Seedlings, pots, plants, perennial divisions,
weeding- time, food, bouquets, canned goods etc. Also any white elephants in
your closets, or things to share.  Come
meet your neighbors and see what the deals may be!

There will also be a
presentation by the newly funded Backyard Barter folks whose web site is about
to be launched to keep the sense of community barter alive all year long!
(Check them out at www.backyardbarter.org)

May 23rd at the Sunset Hill Community Center

3003 NW 66th St

6:30 potluck come share food and chat, or $5 donation

7:00 -9:00 Fun and presentation

I will be bringing starts of tomatoes and plants and the
more folks who participate the better it is for all.  



Presented by the Food and Garden
Guild of SB, we do need help with set up, greeting, and take down.  Just show up with or with out g oodies,to see
what neighbors and fellow gardeners have to offer.



 Then in June:


Third Annual Edible Garden Tour 

June 25th 10-3 

Starting from the Ballard Community
Center

This year’s tour will explore all possibilities of edible
endeavors in the SW quadrant of Ballard. 
Starting at the Ballard Community Center the walkable route will take participants by planted parking strips, raised beds, container plantings, chickens,
bees, water collection/diversion sites, all to admire and inspire. Ticket/maps are
$10 each, kids free.  

For this tour I am the garden scout and am still looking for
more gardens in the area (south of 65th and west of 26th).  If you know of a site please let me
hear.  Also for this we need volunteers
to help with support of participants who do get a basket of goodies and offers
to help weed depending on #’s, distribution of posters around Ballard starting
in late May, and help day -of in the booth.
