welcomes visitors daily. Guests might sit and ponder, have lunch, or photograph the demonstration areas. Kids run the path or play with the rocks. Some are especially interested in the native plant area.
Meanwhile, volunteers tend the Food Bank garden beds, build with bamboo, care for the trees and plan events. Most volunteers do not have garden plots; they offer their time as a contribution to the community.
Garden Highlights:
- Washington’s only gravity-fed drip irrigation system, with no electricity
- Thermal composting – scheduled twice a year, without the use of a garden fork
- Several types of water conservation techniques
- More than half of our garden areas dedicated for the Food Bank
- Extensive use of recycled materials for trellising and infrastructure
