[TheUWfarm] Work party at greenhouses tomorrow!

Hi Farm friends,

We;ll have a good old-fashioned Botany Greenhouse work party tomorrow, 10-1, with a potluck/BYO lunch with the Dirty Dozen from 1-2 and possible hours afterward. Lots of things to plant out, compost to turn, and homemade banana bread!

Sun and fresh loamy dirt to you,
Rachel

[TheUWfarm] Summer Baking Day!

Hello all!

Summer quarter is quickly coming to a close - and what a better way to
celebrate it than with a lovely gathering of friends! Saturday, August
20th from 12:00 - 4:00 there will be a Baking Day event around the cob
oven - join us for pizza, scones, bread, cookies, and all sorts of
tasty foods that can be made in the oven featuring fresh farm foods.
Bring any raw dough, veggies, eggs, fruit, pizza toppings, and fun to
contribute! Professor Evan Sugden's bee keeping class will also be
teaching us about harvesting honey from the hives! So bring all your
friends and an appetite for both delicious treats and good times!

Best,

Kelly (a UW Farm summer intern)

[TheUWfarm] SYGW mentoring at the new shared Farm!

Hello Farm community,

This is a great opportunity to work alongside high-school age youth at the UW Farm and Seattle Tilth's shared new space this Fall! See below for details.

Best,

Rachel

---------------

We are starting our search for mentors for the fall season at the farm
and we'd like to extend an invitation to you to apply. I've attached
both an application and an information sheet. The season starts Tuesday,
September 13 and runs through Friday, October 28. Mentors are needed
Tuesdays, Thursdays and/or Fridays, 3:15-7:00. Mentors are asked to work
one or more consistent shifts per week, for the duration of the season.
Applications are due Wednesday, August 17.

Please plan to attend an upcoming Seattle Tilth general volunteer
orientation. The next one is Tuesday, September 13, 6-7:15 p.m. in
Wallingford. Information about additional orientations, as well as a
general Tilth volunteer application (required for anyone volunteering
with Seattle Tilth in any capacity) are here:
http://seattletilth.org/get-involved/volunteer/index_html

All prospective mentors are required to attend "The Ropes: Understanding
and Engaging Youth Homelessness" a three-hour training sponsored by the
University District Service Providers Alliance, of which SYGW is a
member. The next training is Wednesday, August 10 (*tomorrow*), 6pm -
9pm at the University Presbyterian Church. There is a September training
tentatively scheduled for September 14. To RSVP, please email
TheRopesTraining@gmail.com. In order to be a mentor, you must attend one
of these two trainings. Please bring a copy of the attached Ropes
certification form with you to the training and have one of the trainers
sign it. We'll keep your completed form in your file.

Of course, I'm happy to answer any questions you have about mentoring or
about SYGW in general.

Cheers, Juniper

[TheUWfarm] Garden Education and Outreach Internship

Greetings UW Farm community!

Here is an amazing opportunity to develop classes for a community garden in Tukwila, working with the International Refugee Committee (IRC), refugees from Bhutan and Burma, and other Tukwila residents.  You get to create and teach classes, or coordinate with other people to teach classes, or do both!  You get to work with lots of King County-based, food-related organizations! You get to have the best time ever!

See the IRC website for a complete description and further instructions: http://www.rescue.org/us-program/us-seattle-wa/garden-internship

Feel free to email me with any further questions.


Cheers,
Ariadne Brancato
