Today is the 2nd annual community garden summit at the manitou community center in Tacoma! It was kicked off with a great visit from Mayor Strickland, who has a goal to have Tacoma be the city with the most community gardens per capita. With over one hundred people in attendance, the garden summit has been a hit. Workshops include edible flowers, food access, composting, square foot gardening, worm composting, fruit tree gleaning, container gardening, garden art, trellising, and permaculture! Many of the workshops are hands on and being held outside, even better on one of the sunniest days yet this spring.
