Hi Paula – 

 

I work at Lettuce Link over at Solid Ground, and earlier
this week while distributing vegetable seeds to clients at the Ballard Food
Bank, and I talked to a couple women who were interested in having some help
setting up a garden at their low-income apartment building in lower Ballard (or
possibly Fremont – I’m not quite sure).  There are a lot of
primarily homebound residents living in the apartments, and the women seemed
really excited about having a small garden on-site (currently there is a large grass
area in the backyard).  

 

I think they would be willing to help, but need someone with
some more knowledge to get them started – we could provide them with
seeds & starts (but not dirt or building supplies).   Is this a volunteer
project that some Sustainable Ballard folks might be interested in taking on?  Or
if not, do you have any people/organizations you could point me in the
direction of?

 

Thanks!
