Terra Commons will be having a fun filled work party at our office/nursery next Saturday October 18th from 10am to 5pm, with a potluck lunch at 1pm.
We are located at 3725 36th Ave NW, for more specific directions scroll down.

Come and check out the first Edible Forest Garden that we installed (now in it's 3rd year) and see where Terra Commons lives, and give us a hand in helping do some fall cleaning.

Projects Include:
Organizing and weeding nursery plants
Building Green House
Making Compost bins
Planting the Blueberry bog
General weeding and feeding
processing quinoa seeds
...and more

Terra Commons also has a wish list:

   -(3) 15' 2x4 boards
   -(1) 20' 2x6 board
100 ft. 10 gauge electric cord plus 25 ft. 12 gauge electric cord ($150 Value)
We have a Coleman propane camping stove to be used by our interns and workers but we need the adaptor to hook it to a bigger propane tank.

(2) bags of 250 count roofing screws w/ rubber gaskets
