Looking for someone who can create a device for our p-patch, mostly made from free materials. You should be capable of working with barrels, sheet metal, etc. Welding skills? Can you make a hand-crank? Are you a fan of Rube Goldberg? Like to tinker? Invent? You are creative and you follow through. You like working without being told what to do. You are practical but have a bit of an artistic flair.

You will help remove and sequester Carbon from the air, improve diets, save water, in the heart oif seattle.

You can be new at this. You can learn while doing.

Whimsy appreciated.

About Cascade Patch Community Garden

Location:

Thomas & Minor, Seattle, WA 98109, US

Mission Statement

We are one of 88 Community Gardens run by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. We have created an urban oasis in the middle of South Lake Union for individuals to produce healthy food, interact, build community and provide recreational opportunities.

Description

Each gardener leases a small plot from the city for their own use and puts in extra time to maintain the entire garden and community areas. If you are interested in your own plot search for Seattle P-Patch on the Internet.

We need additional volunteers to help maintain the food we raise for the food banks, and for the common areas. It's a quiet place to have lunch, or where some friends meet for tai chi, and an escape from concrete boxes nearby. Your help is needed to keep up this public garden, demonstrate good land use, prevent run-off, and provide habitat for native bees and songbirds.

Check out our monthly work parties as listed on the shed, or let us coordinate a day for your group.
