Work Party Saturday December 21st 12-3PM

Season's greetings U-Heights P-Patch volunteers! 

(and nothing says Christmas more than shoveling dirt, right?)

Paula Perkins has kindly agreed to host our last formal work-party of 2013 on Saturday, December 21st from 12-3pm

We realize that work-party dates and times may not work for everyone, so if you have the time and inclination, feel free to work on-site when it is convenient for you.  

If you need access to the tools in the toolshed, please email Geoff at geoffberg@yahoo.com or call him at 206-422-6512

Wooden framed beds in the north section can be weeded before adding soil to them.

Soil from the large pile near our shed can be moved via wheelbarrow into any of the beds.  We suggest to ensure all beds have been filled only 3 inches on the bottom, rather than fill beds the beds completely.  We will likely need to amend that soil with lighter material later.  

Please be sure to write your hours in the white notebook in the shed. 

If we don't see you beforehand, best wishes for the holidays:)  

We will keep you posted for upcoming work parties in 2014!

WORK PARTY 12/1/13 12-4 PM

Greetings, volunteers!  

Thanks to Seth Wendzel and student volunteers of Seattle Parks Outdoor Opportunities for  very productive work-parties on November 16th & 24th.  

Our irrigation trenches were back-filled (thanks to Sandy Pernitz and the P-Patch office for hooking our plumbing up) and our pathways were weeded.  You folks got an awesome amount of work done!

I can't promise weather as good as last Sunday, but I will be out at U-Heights P-Patch between 12-4pm this coming Sunday 12/1/13.  We will be moving some more soil into the raised beds and cleaning out and up, in preparation for moving our toolshed.   

As usual, bring some work-gloves. 

Check out Photos from our last Work Party!

Thanks to all the volunteers who are helping make this renovation happen.  We are getting closer and closer to a brand new, revamped, beautiful P-Patch with your help!  

Keep the effort going and feel free to invite friends for some good old fashioned community building and outdoor exercise. 

Work Party Nov 10th 12-4PM

Greetings U-Heights P-Patch volunteers!

We had a great turn-out at our last work-party, with soil being moved into raised beds, a sign recruiting passer-byes was installed and work was done on our irrigation system. 

Work-parties will continue through November on these dates:

Sunday, Nov. 10th, 12-4pm

Saturday, Nov. 16th 2-4pm

Sunday, Nov. 24th, 12-4pm

We will keep on moving soil into the raised beds, and then put gravel into the pathways. 

If you have a wheelbarrow or access to one, please bring it. 

Questions about how you can help, even if you can't make the work-parties? Geoff @geoffberg@yahoo.com or 206-633-2502

P-Patch Work Party Sunday Oct 27 12-4 PM

What's Spooky is how close we are to accomplishing a complete overhaul of this fabulous community garden!

The weather should be good this Sunday, so bring your work-gloves and get some exercise. 

We will be moving soil into the raised beds, finishing the irrigation system and building the last two beds.  Come on by, 12-4 this Sunday if you can.  

Bring friends and family... the more the merrier!

Work Party October 13th 12-4 PM

What better way to enjoy this gorgeous fall weather than to join folks for a work-party this Sunday, October 13th from 12-4 PM. 

This is a great way to enjoy the crisp air, get some exercise, and build community!  

We plan to complete work on our irrigation system and move soil into our raised beds. 

 We will have tools, but please bring work gloves and any friends or family that are interested.

Hope to see everyone there! 

September 29th P-Patch Work Party

Well Folks, things are really shaping up here at the U-Heights P-Patch!  We are reaching the tail end of a total overhaul of this fantastic community garden.  We have completely re-designed the layout and rebuilt all the garden beds.  Check out our work and some of the committed people who have put in the necessary elbow grease.
