Seattle Python pals-- It's been awhile! I miss you guys :-) I haven't seen anybody put a call out to the group for help with a "cause" but I figure this is a pretty good one and might be a nice respite from the day to day. If you're free and want to help out Saturday let me know!
Are you interested in gardening, farming, sustainability, community, and > working with your hands? Do you want to take a break from pounding > computer keys and instead pound some earth nails (rebar spikes)? Do you > want to have a sore back instead of a sore mind? > > If you answered yes to any of the above, then Seattle's oldest and largest > community garden, Picardo > Farm<http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/ppatch/locations/5.htm>, > just north of the University of Washington, has a place for you! There is > work being done almost every Saturday/Sunday between now and June 1 . The > garden was awarded a $20k grant from the Seattle Dept. of Neighborhoods to > renovate nearly 1.2 acres of garden (about half of Picardo Farm). Major > components of the project include building 22 raised food bank beds, a > bamboo garden, mushroom garden, children's garden, new irrigation, and a > permanent path system. The top priority right now is building the > permanent path system and the garden needs all the help it can get. > > If you can make it this Saturday anytime from 10 am to 4 pm or would like > to help out at a future date please contact Matt by email < > [email protected] <[email protected]>>. An added bonus of > helping out is that there is usually some really good food to keep you > energized! > > For more information about the project let me know and I'll send you a > link to our project website. > Many Thanks! Matt
