Sustainable West Seattle Community Forum: Successful Gardening with Nature

March 18, 2013 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

On Monday, March 18th, 6-8 pm, the first of a series of three forums on the topic of gardening will focus on soil building. The hands on style of learning will demonstrate the process of creating garden beds that sustain fertilizer and water as well as keep the weeds at bay. This is followed by Q and A and a movie “Permaculture Soils” by Geoff Lawton in the SSCC LHO classroom 2. Several workshops at the Community Orchard will follow in coming days.

Join us at South Seattle Community College’s (WSB sponsor) Horticulture Center, Community Orchard, at 6400 16th Avenue SW. The Community Orchard is located slightly east of the Horticulture Center near the West Duwamish Greenbelt at the eastern edge of the campus.

Green grant winner announced!
Also, the winner of the $1,000 Green Incubator Grant will be announced at this meeting. SWS received six applications for the grant, made possible by a generous grant from the Coho Team at Windermere Agents. Applicants presented their ideas at the February meeting and the public has been invited to vote on the best idea according to the following criteria: Feasibility, Sustainability, Social and Economic Justice, Community Building, and Educational Elements. The ideas include building membership for the Delridge Produce Cooperative; two bicycle work stations for the West Seattle Tool Library; an educational website about invasive seeds; establishing a West Seattle Timebank for people to exchange services; educational kiosks for the West Duwamish Greenbelt; and clean-up for a White Center site to be developed into a community garden/orchard. It’s not too late to vote, which you can do here.
