There is another Edible Forest Garden Work Party on Friday June 13th at the Purple house on 1417 Mitchell Ave NE, 98506 - on the same block and right next to Bigelow park.
We will be there from 10am to 3pm with a potluck lunch around noon.

Neighbors and Community members are invited to help plant fruit and nut trees and berry bushes then sheet mulch the lawn by putting down cardboard and wood chips to remove the grass. Edible Forest Gardens consist of three main layers, with fruit and nut trees as the upper canopy, berries and other edible bushes as the middle layer and perennial vegetables and fruits as the ground cover. Come and learn how you too could turn your yard into an Edible Forest Garden.

The work party includes:
~Design and layout of trees and shrubs in an edible forest garden
~Planting trees and shrubs
~Sheet Mulching lawn
~Mushroom Inoculation

A sociologist, historian and professor who taught race relations for 20 years at the University of Vermont, James Loewen co-authored, Mississippi: Conflict and Change, which won the Lillian Smith Award for Best Southern Nonfiction, but was not approved for use in the Mississippi school system because it was considered too controversial and placed too much focus on racial issues.

Ever watched one-man sculling boats glide through Puget Sound? Want to learn to row? Now's your chance!

In sculling, each rower uses two oars. In sweep rowing, each rower has one oar.

Note: The class is taught over a span of four days, but I didn't want to clutter the calendar. This is the fourth offering of 2008.

More info. Register now, classes fill quickly!
