Community Garden Expansion Work Day

Join us on Saturday, February 7th from 9:00am - 12:00pm in expanding our community garden to grow more food and support future farmers. Volunteers will help build new garden plots that increase food access for community members and serve as hands-on training space for PNW climate-resilient growing techniques. Expect hearty, rewarding work, with alternative tasks available for those with mobility limitations.

Tasks:

• Move and stack concrete blocks to outline garden beds
• Hammer in rebar to stabilize blocks
• Fill concrete block holes in with soil

Other Details:

• Youth under the age of 15 must be supervised by a parent or guardian
• This event will happen rain or shine, so please dress appropriately with closed toed shoes/boots, layers for the weather, clothes that can get dirty.
• Please bring a refillable water bottle - we will have a cooler available onsite
• Washed gardening gloves will be provided; however, please feel free to bring your own

Paradise Parking Plots Community Garden is a project of World Relief Western Washington. In 2017, we began transforming an underused parking lot into a thriving garden with 50 growing beds, raingardens, a bioswale, and food forest. It is a place where refugees, immigrants and local community members can gather to grow culturally-appropriate foods that promote a healthier lifestyle, improve food access, foster economic independence, and build community.

Thank you for your help in continuing to build and improve our shared space!
