Lauren Taylor from the Rainwise outreach team, Sustainable Ballard, as well as members from the Rain Garden Program, WSU Extension will be giving a workshop so we can learn about how King County and City of Seattle created Rainwise, its benefits to having a system installed,
and how that would benefit our gardens with lower water costs. They’ll also give guidelines for eligibility for installation and rebates, whether installing a rain garden and or cisterns.

The HPSW holiday party and white elephant gift exchange will be
Sunday January 6th – 1pm to 4pm
The party will be a potluck at Madelyn Katzman’s house on north Capitol Hill (she’s east of Volunteer Park).
The white elephant can be anything. It doesn’t have to be garden related. You can’t bring back the white elephant you got last year but you can bring back the white elephant you got 2 years ago. And, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to participate in the white elephant gift exchange. Bob says since the party is after Christmas this year you will be able to give away the Christmas gifts you got that you don’t want! And, we have learned, one person’s white elephant is another’s treasured object.
more information will be sent out nearer the party
Please contact Pamela Perrott at pamelaperrott@comcast.net or 206 999 3092 for directions and further information.
Note: that parking in Capitol Hill is notoriously bad, although it is worse near the shopping streets of Broadway etc. and not so bad away from there. But allow for parking further away just in case.
