The first meeting was to gather information about what we want out of the club.
The general feeling was to keep the format open to all gardening has to offer. We would like to promote healthy, environmentally safe and clean gardening in all of Shoreline. To share information with other gardeners and to teach as well as learn from each other. Let this be the venue in which we can all come together for a common goal, as a community.
We agreed that we would like to have seed and plant exchanges as well as sales of plants to earn money for the club. Have guest speakers, garden tours, and whatever else the group would like to do. A facebook page will be set up to share information about the club in addition to this website.
Did you know the city of Shoreline has been certified as a Wildlife Habitat? The whole city. That's an awesome thing we are doing here. With the push for green sustainable gardening in every community around the country, we encourage each of you to join us as we learn from each other. Wouldn't it be something if we could make Shoreline a model city for community supported gardening? I think it would be awesome.
Meetings will be the first Saturday each month. 1pm Sky Nursery. More info to follow as it becomes available.
