Nice notice, Paula.  I will forward to FYI list as well.  Did connect with one of the volunteers, who is distributing green fest posters and some of our postcards for the garden tour.  Yeah!

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!

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.
