    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.

  • 2012 City Fruit Annual Report
    2012 Annual Report Introduction Seattle boasted a bumper crop of fruit in 2012. Weather. Community support. Experienced harvesters. All conspired to ensure that more fruit was harvested in Seattle than ever before. City Fruit brought in 18,000 pounds from three Seattle neighborhoods. This good news represents one side of the equation. On the other side, lines at Seattle food banks grew longer than ever. One of our recipients, the Rainier Valley Food Bank, is one of Seattle’s busiest, serving 11,000 people a month. Nearly 25 percent of the children in Washington don’t get enough to eat. The statistics go on and on, drilling home the fact that fruit doesn’t belong on the ground: Seattle-grown plums, apples, pears, grapes and crabapples belong in boxes -- on a delivery route – to people who are hungry. While harvesting and distributing urban fruit remained at the core of our mission, City Fruit continued to develop the infrastructure and services needed for a viable urban food system. Specifically, we have: developed a range of revenue streams, including an expanding member base, community sponsors and partners, product sales, classes, events, and donations, in addition to grants; maintained a roster of active orchard stewards who ultimately harvested hundreds of pounds of fruit from community trees -- trees that few knew existed just three years ago; developed a state-of-the art CRM system (Salesforce) that generates harvest histories of fruit trees going back four years and allows us to manage data on fruit trees, harvests, tree owners, classes, community contacts – you name it – efficiently and accurately; planted dozens of fruit trees and berry bushes in the Rainier Valley.
