Love gardening, food, wine? Here’s an offer for you

Just back from the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce monthly lunch, where Bill Hibler of West Seattle Internet mentioned that the West Seattle Garden Tour – which included his Gatewood home this past July (photo above) – is inviting people to join the committee, and there’s a meeting tonight, which he described as part party (that’s where the food comes in – wine too) and part meeting – as Bill puts it, “One member suggested that the committee was actually a gourmet cooking club masquerading as a garden committee!” If you’d like to investigate the possibility of helping out the WS Garden Tour, be at 1300 SW Webster (map) at 6:30 (phone numbers if you get lost: 206 225-6508, 206 225-4109). If you just can’t make it, but are interested in being on the WSGT committee, contact Clay Swidler at 206-669-4653. (The tour is a nonprofit annual event that raises money for nonprofit and educational organizations in West Seattle and vicinity – more info at westseattlegardentour.com.)

This is such a great group and such a great event! I was on the committee for a number of years and even chaired it one year. You don’t have to be a Master Gardener to join, just enjoy helping people and doing some event coordination. And you have to enjoy the monthly potlucks!

The garden tour was a blast! Thanks to Bill and the other six who opened their backyards this summer. I have lived in WS a long time and this was my first closeup look at the overgrown, quiet ravine on Gatewood Hill.

Thank you so much for the nice “plug” for the West Seattle Garden Tour. I have been on the committee for two years, and we very much appreciate you mentioning us, and for helping get the word out about our need for volunteers. We can always use more people, and everyone is welcome.

Thank you, Tracy, for the nice note about the WSGT Committee on the West Seattle Blog.
