The HPSW Holiday Party will be Sunday
Dec 10 1-4 at Madelyn Katzman’s house on North Capitol Hill
It is a potluck. Bring a dish to share, or wine. HPSW will supply plates and napkins etc. and Madelyn will supply cutlery.There is also a whilte elephant gift exchange. This is supposed to be some kind of white elepant, something quirky and funny if possible, and not an expensive gift. You are not allowed to bring last year’s gift until next year. Madelyn gets to choose if we can steal gifts already opened, or not.You can come without sharing in the gift exchange, so don’t avoid us if you aren’t interested in the gift exchange.
Call Madelyn Katzman for directions: 206 328 3202

Gardening on a Steep, North Facing Slope: It’s a Challenge!- Lori Brakken
Lori Brakken, apple ID expert and landscape architect, will join us at our September meeting to talk about her gardening experiences..
Lori has an espalier fence with more than 40 apple trees growing in an elevated bed., supported by bamboo trellising. She has grafted additional varieties to the espaliered trees, so she now has about twice that many varieties of pomme fruit wood. She also grows grapes, blueberries, persimmon, apricots, and plums.
Meeting at Center for Urban Horticulture; NHS Hall Section A,
Doors open at 6:30 for Seed Sales and food & socializing .
Door prizes and a short business meeting will start at 7:00 followed by Lori’s talk
3501 NE 41st St. Seattle, WA 98105 MAP

Please Note: Madelyn lives near the north end of Capitol Hill, not far from Volunteer Park. Her house is up a long flight of stairs through a rockery, with no handrail, but you can use her neighbor’s stairs – the neighbor to the south – and then cross into her yard at the top.
