Come see the new multi-use storage shed at CUH, built by the UW Architecture Neighborhood Design/Build class. It has an outdoor classroom space, greenhouse and toolshed for the Seattle Youth Works and the UW Farm, and a storage shed for the Hardy Plant Society of Washington.
Thursday, June 7, 5pm-8pm
CUH, 3501 NW 41st Street
Please join us on Saturday, June 9th to help get the Blooms of Bressingham Plant Evaluations beds ready for their plants!
We had a huge crowd on Sunday, May 27th from 10am-4pm! We had a monumental weed-pulling/horsetail removal effort, AND spread another 20 yards of Enviromix. Our planting beds are prepped! Just one or two more horsetail pulling sessions and I think we’ve got it licked! Thank you to everyone who came!
Here are the documents related to the entrance garden at CUH. They will be updated here as information changes.
Sharon Collman in her garden
To ensure their survival, plants have developed ingenious ways to attract and feed insects so they become unwitting carriers of pollen and defenders of the plants. Venture into this tiny and colorful world with entomologist and WSU Extension Educator Sharon J. Collman. Sharon gardens to attract insects to her small-plot backyard biodiversity study.
