Activities

GSP is partnering with Queer the Land (queertheland.org) to support the ongoing stewardship of this oak understory garden as a space to build community and relationships with first food plants of the Coast Salish region. All experience levels welcome!

For this event we'll work on...
1) Processing seeds -- Feel free to bring baggies if you'd like to take some seeds for growing
2) Finishing cutting down the meadow patches -- Our annual late-summer practice in place of traditional controlled burns that maintained oak-camas prairies across the northwest
3) Raking leaves -- Preventing leaf litter from smothering our meadow patches by mulching the walking paths instead

Please note these activities may involve bending and kneeling. There's seating on-site, but the garden isn't wheelchair-accessible.

All ages OK
