HELP BUILD A FOOD BANK GARDEN!!
If you like gardening or just like to play in the dirt, we have constructed some raised beds in the fenced area outside the nursery (old play area) to raise vegetables for the local food banks. We are still looking for people to help weed, water, and maintain the garden. Please contact Pam Yorozu: (206) 870-8126 or by email: Trozu@aol.com
