As we have the last two years, in 2012, the Garden Project will build 25 free raised-bed vegetable gardens at low-income households in Bellingham. We provide the garden bed, soil, seeds and plant starts, basic gardening resources, and education in the form of mentoring and workshops. While seeds grow to abundance, gardeners grow with a sense of accomplishment and community connection.

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!
