This event is organized by Ashley Kehl and his partner Jenniemae Hillyard who share a love of seed saving, trading with friends and preserving food. Ashley's father, Michael Pilarski hosted a plant and seed exchange in the Okanagan for many years and was a primary inspiration for starting this one in Port Townsend.
Tip: bring something to carry your plants in. Hope to see you there!

GRANGE
GARDEN GOAL: GROW MORE FOR THE FOOD BANK
Quimper
Grange has been growing vegetables for the Food Bank for the past five years
and the amount of food donated has increased year by year. Starting as a
community garden there are now two gardening efforts taking place simultaneously
within the deer fenced area west of the Grange hall: the southern part is being
managed by Jo Yount for Quimper Grange and the northern part is being managed
by Emily Vagts for Port Townsend Food Bank Gardens, an organization that is in
the process of getting its 501c3 status.
