Let me know as it is already getting late, and at this point, I am pretty busy, but with help could participate.<br>paula<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Subject: Urban Crop Circle & gardening help<br>Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:27:54 -0700<br>From: robind@solid-ground.org<br>To: pjjenson1@hotmail.com<br><br>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Hi Paula – </span></font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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). </span></font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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?</span></font></p>
