Hello Garden Project (is this Max?),   I'm interested in helping co-create a community greenhouse.  I was told your garden mentor program was full back in april when I called.    If you have openings next year I can help out. 

It would be great to connect in person sometime.  One way is to meet me at a garden work party, that is followed by a meal.  This tuesday we meet in Columbia neighborhood at 6pm and eat around 7:30.  Address at 1507 E. Maplewood Ave – backyard garden.

Here are the links to the Sustainable Bellingham's Rolving Garden Partys with more details.

There are some great folks who come to each work party!

Next week we are out near Cain Lake.  We help with different neighbors projects through mid June, and then start up again next spring.  Hope to meet you someday!
