Invite us to your sustainable gardenFormerly known as the Columbia City Garden Tour, this year we're celebrating sustainability in the diverse gardens of the Rainier Valley. Thus the name has changed to the Rainier Valley Garden Tour. It'll be on Saturday, August 22, and it will encompass gardens from Martin Luther King Way east to Lake Washington, and I-90 south to the city limits. Would you like to show off your pride and joy in the Garden Tour? Submit your garden for consideration to gro.ruoTnedraGyellaVreiniaR|snoissimbus#gro.ruoTnedraGyellaVreiniaR|snoissimbus by May 15. What does "sustainable" mean to you in your garden? From worm bins to organic veggies, from community enrichment to personal enjoyment, from natives to site-appropriate exotics, tell us why your garden is sustainable and why you want to share it with others. We're also interested in knowledgeable and friendly people to help us "staff" the gardens on the day of the tour. Can you help? If so, gro.ruotnedragyellavreiniar|reetnulov#wonk su tel.

Columbia City's facebook groupTruth be told, this Citizen has resisted the siren song of social media, suspecting facebook, myspace and their ilk might turn out to be just so many more online obsessions. And they are. But the lure of the neighborhood's internet-work is strong, and there's a rush of new interest in Columbia City connecting. Christo de Klerk kicked off a Columbia City group awhile back, and this week it's breezed past 200 members. If you're a facebook member in the "Seattle, WA" network, you can join and invite your neighbors. This seems to be another good way for Citizens to self-identify and share information. Facebook isn't a wiki, so it won't replace what we're doing here. But facebook might make it easier to connect with the friends of our friends — a useful tool in this neighborhood. So let's see if this helps with the community building we do here — check it out. |
