The Giving Garden at the Jackson Park P-Patch is participating in the United Way of King County MLK Day of Service. It is hosting a work party in its community garden on Monday, January 20th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The work party will focus on community areas, particularly the Giving Garden, which is entirely run by volunteers. There will be weeding, digging, spreading bark, and preparing beds for spring time. There will be free snacks and beverages. Families, pets and people of all physical abilities are welcome.
Last year the Giving Garden donated over 200 pounds of fresh, organic produce to local food banks, mostly to the North Helpline Lake City Food Bank. It also brings together a variety of neighbors from around Jackson Park and Pinehurst. There are disabled gardeners who work in raised beds, as well as gardeners who are new to America, and young families who are teaching their kids how to be gardeners and good neighbors.
Please come out and help! The P-patch is at 13049 10th Ave NE (10th Ave NE & NE 133rd).
