[UrbanCropCircle] FW: Urban Crop Circle & gardening help

[Andrea Faste]

Can we find out exactly WHERE these women want to make a garden?  Are we talking about getting a load of topsoil and compost?  How many square feet?  If it is really small, I'd be willing to help.

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).

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?
