Interested in helping to connect kids with where their food comes from? Come out and share your ideas for our new community learning garden in Rainier Beach!
On Tues., April 20, the Steering Committee of the Rainier Beach Learning Garden will host the second of three meetings to create a design for the expanded garden. The meeting will take place at South Lake High School from 6-8 pm. Dinner and childcare will be provided.
Invite your neighbors and friends and be a part of creating the neighborhood you want to see! Join us to compare several designs and share ideas for making the garden an inviting and educational space for friends and neighbors of all ages.
The Rainier Beach Learning Garden is a partnership between Seattle Tilth, Seattle Parks, South Shore PTSA, South Shore PreK-8, the Rainier Beach Community Center, the New School Foundation, and Kids Co.
Located behind South Shore School next to the tennis courts, the garden gives kids and adults a place to grow their own food and learn about healthy eating and environmental stewardship.
Last August a local landscape firm helped the partner groups and 50 volunteers build six raised beds to start the garden. Since then, Seattle Tilth has been teaching kids and adults to love bugs, grow food, and explore the natural world through hands-on science.
The organization recently received a matching grant from the Department of Neighborhoods to expand the garden, teach the latest techniques in urban gardening and help more people grow their own food. For more information, contact Sharon Lerman at sharonlerman@seattletilth.org.
