[TheUWfarm] Updated Map: Work Party and Commencement of the Farm's NEW SPACE

Hey everyone, 

I just put together a facebook event for this (see Rachel's message below)! It has an updated map, which you can find here.

Facebook event for our CUH SPACE COMMENCEMENT AND WORK PARTY!

This is going to be a great start to our new space...and is so exciting after so many UW Farmers worked on expansion over the last year and a half. Come join us, 11 - 3 this Friday!

Hi Farmers,

As we wind down this full and lively Spring Quarter, please come and be a part of a work party this Friday at our new space by the Center for Urban Horticulture, spreading compost over the freshly plowed soil.

We will be working this Friday from 11 am to 3 pm at the CUH space, coming back to the greenhouses at three for our Cob Oven pizza bake (!! Pizza Bake facebook event). A group will be walking down to the site together from the greenhouses at 10:40. Email back if you would like to be part of the group-walk or want more info about the site's location.

So many people have invested in obtaining this new space and forging our new collaboration with a great community organization - Seattle Youth Garden Works. I know I for one am itching to  share it with anyone and everyone interested in this exciting new chapter in our quest for urban agriculture at the UW!

Let's get our hands in some fresh dirt!!!!!!!!!!

[TheUWfarm] Volunteer Opportunity with At-Risk Youth

Hi all,

 

My name is Phyllis, and I used to help out on the Farm when I was still a student...I’m impressed by how much the Farm has grown!!! Anyway, now I work at a community health center in south Seattle. Our inpatient substance abuse treatment facility for teenage boys is looking for a gardening volunteer who can help the boys learn more about plants, growing food, etc.

 

This would be a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in making urban farming accessible to youth and especially at-risk youth. We are looking for an applicant who is creative, fun, and excited to work with teenagers.

 

Here is the link to the volunteer opportunity: http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/Op?From=25455&Op=77

 

All applicants will be interviewed to ensure the best fit. If you would like to apply please contact me (Phyllis) at reachoutandread@seamarchc.org or 206-764-8043 and we can schedule a short interview. We would like to have a volunteer ready to go by mid-June.

 

Thank you so much!

Phyllis
