]]> Comment on Sustainable West Seattle Forums To Feature Quarterly Themes: First Up Is Successful Gardening with Nature by Carolyn Stauffer http://www.sustainablewestseattle.org/2013/03/sustainable-west-seattle-forums-to-feature-quarterly-themes-first-up-is-successful-gardening-with-nature-this-monday/#comment-1566 Carolyn Stauffer Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:08:57 +0000 http://www.sustainablewestseattle.org/?p=9659#comment-1566 I’d like to nominate the Highland Park Improvement Club on 12th and Holden, it is a very active and engaged community group in the Highland Park and Riverview community. They also team up with HPAC, which is more of the activist wing that is concerned with getting information out to the community (I am the chair of that group). Our monthly meetings typically have 20-25 people depending on the topic, and we’ve been having a lot of discussions about sustainable approaches to gardens and community. HPIC recently received a King County grant through Sustainable Seattle for a raingarden and cistern on site as part of a Rainwise demonstration and educational component for the community. Plans are currently underway for an install by June 1, followed by a neighborhood garden tour. In discussions with the community and contractor, we’ve come up with a “master plan” of sorts that includes areas on site that we want to have gardens but are not part of this phase of “greening” the property. The property as it exists is a nondescript building on an asphalt parking lot. HPIC would be an awesome spot for your “legacy garden” project and I am happy to discuss the site further if it seems like a viable project to you too. We have one section in which we envision a “habitat border” garden along the entire property, one area in which we are interested in removing more asphalt and replacing it with porous pavers, and a third area that would be along the Right of Way, which currently is covered in asphalt. All three are great, highly visible locations for demonstration areas for sustainable garden techniques and inspiration for the surrounding neighborhood and community for years to come. I am happy to meet with you to discuss the site and what we are up to. Thank you for your consideration!

I will keep checking back. Hope to get more involvement too.
