Ballard Giving Garden Work Party this Saturday

Join us as we prepare the new Ballard Giving Garden for a productive growing season, one that will provide fresh, homegrown vegetables to the Ballard Food Bank.

Date: Saturday, April 25
Time: 1:00-5:00 PM
Location: Walk north up the alley between 23rd & Jones NW from NW 65th and you will see us! Please don’t drive up the alley! You can park in the Trinity Church parking lot if needed. RSVP if you need more specific directions.
• Drop in anytime! Stay for an hour or the whole afternoon!

During the work party, we’ll be filling our raised beds (some made out of dinghys!) with nutrient-rich soil and distributing wood chips between the beds to get everything ready for planting. 

We’re especially grateful to Limback Lumber for generously donating the lumber, Tree Swallow Farm for garden advice, and Dirt Exchange for providing Veggie Mix garden soil. In fact, we’ll be receiving a delivery of 4 cubic yards of soil, so it’s truly an all-hands-on-deck kind of day. Many hands will make light work!

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just want to help out, this is a wonderful opportunity to spend a few hours outdoors, connect with neighbors, and support a great cause.

We’d love to have you join us – every helping hand makes a difference!
