Puget Ridge Edible Park is one of a kind. It doesn’t have to be. Learn about urban farming!

Puget Ridge Edible Park (18th/Brandon) is a park where food is grown. The lessons community volunteers have learned while making it happen and helping it thrive are lessons you can learn from – and a “community garden leadership camp” this fall will give you that chance. PREP’s Stu Hennessey sent the announcement:

What: Urban farming, community garden leadership camp

When: September 20th through October 18th on consecutive Saturdays from 9 am to 11 am

Where: Puget Ridge Edible Park
1801 SW Brandon St. West Seattle

Why: Puget Ridge Edible Park is a permaculture community garden that supplies free local and fresh produce to many families in and near the Puget Ridge neighborhood.

With food security being a concern and with prices of high quality and healthy food prices climbing the fastest, growing locally is the best answer. We will share with you our story of success from acquiring space to season by season methods that you can use to develop your own neighborhood park as well as use in your own garden. To show commitment, a $25 donation the the Puget Ridge Edible Park group, a 501c3 is suggested but not required.

    Food security is important. So is community socializing, getting exercise and having fun. This is a timely opportunity to learn what makes Puget Ridge Edible Park so successful and how that story can be applied to your own garden or to create a community garden in your part of Seattle.The price of food is rising and more so with healthy, fresh produce. With looming tarrifs and worker shortages due to immigration policies, our food security is at risk.The benefits of open spaces like PREP creates an environment that leads to meeting your neighbors, making new friends, and enjoying nature.Come see the Seattle City Park that brings this together and learn how it can happen in your neighborhood.

    This looks very interesting. Anything we need to bring with us (supplies of some kind)?
