[TheUWfarm] Want a plot in the UW Student P-Patch Garden?

Hi folks,

As many of you may know, the UW Student P-Patch Garden is approaching the completion of its expansion, and soon we'll have lots of new garden beds for students to grow food in! The P-Patch, located behind Hall Health, is a place for students to grow their own food, learn about urban agriculture, food sovereignty and sustainability, and enjoy being part of a vibrant community on campus.

Do you want a plot to garden in for the rest of this spring quarter? There are also possibilities to stay on through the summer, and you'd have priority for plot assignments at the beginning of the coming academic year. As a project of SEED (Students Expressing Environmental Dedication, a group who focuses on promoting sustainability in the residence halls), the only eligibility requirement for being a P-Patcher is that you are living in the dorms -- though this requirement is waived, of course, for summer quarter gardeners.There is no fee, and tools, seeds, gardening books, and other resources will be provided for you. You don't have to have gardening experience to be a P-Patcher -- you just need to have a hunger for learning, a passion for good, fresh food, and a desire to get your hands in the soil!

If you're interested in having a plot, please email me back. I'm compiling a waitlist, and plots will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Also, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. My email is joanna_8689@yahoo.com and phone is 206.679.9022.

Thanks! I look forward to growing healthy soil and delicious plants with you!

Joanna
