Community Gardens Topic of May 18 Meeting:
Sustainable Redmond Spring Speaker Series Continues at
Old Redmond Schoolhouse
Sustainable
Redmond will hold the third of its Spring Speaker Series at 7pm on Monday, May
18th at Redmond’s Old Schoolhouse Community Center – a change from
past meeting venues. This meeting will
highlight community garden initiatives in Kirkland and Bellevue as well as
Redmond. The meeting is open to everyone
and all are welcome to attend. Read More >>
Gardens, whether in a community pea-patch, in
containers on an apartment balcony or in a back yard can nourish both the
individual and the broader community.
Panelists from Redmond, Kirkland and Bellevue will discuss garden plots big and small plus feeding, teaching and
building community through urban agriculture. The featured panelists are:
Redmond City Outdoor Programs Administrator Cindy Johnson
discussing Redmond Pea Patches, Edible Kirkland Nourishing Networks volunteer
Joanne Hedou and Janet Farness, Co-Chair of Orchard Gardens (Bellevue).
Following the panel discussion, the remainder of the
meeting will be allocated for smaller interest groups to gather, exchange
ideas, consider potential follow-ups and share contact info as desired. Additional resources on these topics will
also be available.
It’s not too late to get edible plants in the ground, so bring
your friends to learn more about these Eastside gardening and community
building opportunities. The meeting will
conclude at 8:30pm.
