Celebrating 14 Years of Growing Together

Can you believe it’s been 14 years since the transformation of a rooftop parking garage into a thriving, green oasis in the heart of the city? To mark this milestone, we are launching our 1st annual birthday celebration to coincide with our 3rd annual Half Night Out at McMenamins QA! AND the Seattle Storm and Seattle Torrent have donated tickets to our raffle! 😎

General cleanup, compost turning, plot wall fixing, lawn mowing & edging, and more!

All are welcome! About four people would be ideal.

UpGardeners, get some hours in by turning the compost piles. 

Help us renew our FIFTY-ODD wildlife and flower beds for the bees, birds, hummingbirds, insects, friendly soil bacteria and ourselves.

We are grubbing out all weeds, sifting and renewing soil and planting a new generation of flowering plants from top to bottom of the garden in our big boxes, lavender and border beds snd all the large trellis beds, while babying our heritage plants.

There is a ton of work to do-of all types; much of it sequential with a bunch in major weeding and soil prep and then a lot of planting.

All of the plants are here, stored in the Bees. We would like to finish the major work by July 1st.

You can look at the long bed behind the Bees (bed # 55) for an idea of where we’re going - it’s about 90% complete!
