Growing & Giving in Seattle 2015 End of Season Report Giving Garden at Hazel Heights P-Patch An Introduction to Growing & Giving What Lettuce Link and the Seattle Giving Gardeners Network call Growing and Giving encompasses the diverse ways gardeners across the city share the bounty of their gardens with their communities. Giving Gardeners range from backyard gardeners growing extra for the Food Bank, to large volunteer-run programs at P-Patches. Examples of Growing and Giving include: • 53 P-Patches grow produce in a plot dedicated to growing for donation to a local food bank or emergency meal program • 6 Community and Backyard Gardens grow produce dedicated to local food banks, meal programs, and low-income community members. Lettuce Link’s role in Growing & Giving Materials Lettuce Link provides seeds to Giving Gardens, provides gardening materials and information, and signs for gardens. Technical and Recruitment Support Lettuce Link offers resources, ideas, and connections to other gardeners for Giving Gardens that are struggling to get people involved, have specific gardening challenges, or are just starting out. Reporting and Celebration Lettuce Link collects the poundage totals and stories from Giving Gardens at the end of the season and presents a picture of Giving Gardening for the year. It also co-hosts Giving Gardener Gatherings annually.

We had a great season, increasing our yield and starting delivery early. Our first gifting was in June and we ended in late Sept. We had many events, including hosting RVFB staff at our harvest potluck. We continue to develop a relationship and are trying to meet the needs of RVFB clients.” Giving Garden Stories Bitter Lake P-Patch: “This year, we reached out to our immediate neighbors in the TriCourt apartments, a SHA property directly across the street from Bitter Lake P-Patch. Most, if not all, of the residents are regular food bank clients, so we thought we could make some of their food hyperlocal. We met with their Resident Council, who suggested we schedule our sharing days for late in the month when resources are stretched way too thin. Some of our gardeners live in the building, and were instrumental in getting flyers posted throughout the buildings. We had a sharing day in July, and again in August. It was so much fun to connect directly with everyone who came. We all talked about how we like to prepare our vegetables, and everyone was just delightful, and so appreciative.

    Parks and Recreation

    PARKS AND RECREATION Parks and Recreation Overview of Facilities and Programs The Department of Parks and Recreation manages 400 parks and open areas in its approximately 6,200 acres of property throughout the City, works with the public to be good stewards of the park system, and provides safe and welcoming opportunities for the public to play, learn, contemplate, and build community. The park system comprises about 10% of the City’s land area; it includes 485 buildings, 224 parks, 185 athletic fields, 122 children's play areas, 24 community centers, 151 outdoor tennis courts, 22 miles of boulevards, an indoor tennis center, two outdoor and eight indoor swimming pools, four golf courses, studios, boat ramps, moorage, fishing piers, trails, camps, viewpoints and open spaces, a rock climbing site, a conservatory, a classical Japanese garden, and a waterfront aquarium. The development of this system is guided by the Seattle Parks & Recreation Plan 2000, the 38 neighborhood plans, the Joint Athletic Facilities Development Program with the Seattle School District, the 1999 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, the 2000 Parks Levy, and DPR’s annual update to the Major Maintenance Plan. 2000 Parks Levy In November 2000, Seattle voters approved a $198.2 million levy lid lift for Parks and Recreation. The levy closely follows the plan forged by the Pro Parks 2000 Citizens Planning Committee. The levy is designed to fund more than 100 projects to improve maintenance and enhance programming of existing parks, including the Woodland Park Zoo; acquire, develop and maintain new neighborhood parks, green spaces, playfields, trails and boulevards; and add out-of-school and senior activities.

  • The Native Plant Press

    The Native Plant Press

    Native Plant Press January 2020 The Native Plant Press The Newsletter of the Central Puget Sound Chapter of WNPS Volume 21 No. 11 January 2020 Holiday Party Recap On Sunday, December 8th, the Central Puget Sound Chapter held our annual holiday party. The event was a potluck, and the fare was wide-ranging and excellent. The native plant-focused silent auction offered several hand-made wreaths, numerous potted natives from tiny succulents to gangly shrubs, plant-themed books and ephemera, and a couple of experiences. The selection occasioned some intense bidding wars, with Franja Bryant and Sharon Baker arriving at a compromise in their battle over the Native Garden Tea Party. A highlight of the party was the presentation of awards to Member, Steward and Professional of the Year. Each year, nominations are submitted by members and the recipients are chosen by the CPS Board. Stewart Wechsler (left) was chosen Member of the Year. Stewart is a Botany Fellow for the chapter and for many years has offered well-attended plant ID sessions before our westside meetings. In addition, he often fields the many botanical questions that we receive from the public. David Perasso (center) is our Steward of the Year. David is a Native Plant Steward at Martha Washington Park on Lake Washington and has been working to restore the historic oak/camas prairie ecosystem at the site. The site is now at the stage where David was able to host a First Nation camas harvest recently. He is also an active volunteer at our native plant nursery, providing vital expertise in the identification and propagation of natives.

    City of Seattle Edward B. Murray, Mayor Finance and Administrative Services Fred Podesta, Director July 25, 2016 The Honorable Tim Burgess Seattle City Hall 501 5th Ave. Seattle, WA 98124 Councilmember Burgess, Attached is an annual report of all real property under City ownership. The annual review supports strategic management of the City’s real estate holdings. Because City needs change over time, the annual review helps create opportunities to find the best municipal use of each property or put it back into the private sector to avoid holding properties without an adopted municipal purpose. Each January, FAS initiates the annual review process. City departments with jurisdiction over real property assure that all recent acquisitions and/or dispositions are accurately represented, and provide current information about each property’s current use, and future use, if identified. Each property is classified based on its level of utilization -- from Fully Utilized Municipal Use to Surplus. In addition, in 2015 and 2016, in conjunction with CBO, OPI, and OH, FAS has been reviewing properties with the HALA recommendation on using surplus property for housing. The attached list has a new column that groups excess, surplus, underutilized and interim use properties into categories to help differentiate the potential for various sites. Below is a matrix which explains the categorization: Category Description Difficult building site Small, steep and/or irregular parcels with limited development opportunity Future Use Identified use in the future

    Every Drop Counts: Water-Saving Contest Results

    Published by the P-Patch Trust WINTER/SPRING 2012 Every drop counts: Water-saving contest results Article and photos by Nate Moxley Second place: Hazel Heights water gurus provided an adequate supply of watering cans and added signage encouraging gardeners to use water from the underground Contest? What contest? water cistern. Last year’s water-saving contest, running between June and October, was a worthwhile effort for the P-Patch Program. The impetus was to promote innovative approaches to water conservation with the goal of saving both water and money. Results varied from site to site with a variety of factors that affect water consumption, including weather, leaks, garden expansion and participation levels. The contest encompassed two approaches: water savings and innovative ideas for water conservation. In each category, the top three gardens received a prize. First prize in each category was a $100 gift certificate to Greenwood Hardware. Second-place gardens got a variety pack of new tools, and third-place winners received a copy of Seattle Tilth’s Maritime Northwest Garden Guide. Thanks to all of the sites that participated in the contest. You not only spread water conservation awareness but also reduced the P-Patch Program’s water costs. Contest results Category 1: Overall water savings In all, 30 gardens decreased their water consumption as compared to last year. Even though the P-Patch program brought new gardens online during the contest period, we achieved an overall reduction in water use of nearly 20,000 gallons from the year before. This outcome shows that when gardeners take an active role in water conservation, results can be significant.
