 We are always in need of more volunteers in the
garden regardless of your experience level! Check out our photos and see how much fun it is to donate your time to such an important part of our community! We could always use another pair of hands as there is so much to do. Work party notices can be found here on our calendar, in the community notices section
of the Mukilteo Beacon, and posted at
the garden. Everyone is welcome...come for an hour
or stay for the day...rain or shine!
Community education is a priority in the Mukilteo Community Garden. Gardening classes, which are being offered monthly through the end of the growing season, are a big success! Find out about our classes by clicking on the pea vine below.Would you like your very own garden plot? We have raised beds ready for planting available!

The Mukilteo Garden and Quilt Tour will take place this Saturday July 16, 2011 from 10am to 5pm. The Mukilteo Community Garden is featured on the tour. Tickets are available at the Rosehill Community Center at 304 Lincoln Ave in Old Town Mukilteo. Welcome to the Mukilteo Community Garden. This is a happy place whose mission is to teach people how to grow food and share food with our neighbors in need. Just three years ago, this site was an unsightly blackberry patch and rubber tire dump. Growing on land loaned by the City of Mukilteo, everything you see in the garden has been donated. Mukilteo Community Garden is a private not-for-profit 501c3 IRS approved organization. Learn about cutting edge vertical gardening in the food bank area. Observe the individual choices of 50 raised bed garden owners.Tour the collection of antique garden tools presented by WSU Master Gardener Rob Taylor. Be sure to see our demonstration quilt bed near the entrance arch, literally, a real iron-frame bed. ___________________ _______________________________ April 2, 2011 Harvest Coordinator Volunteer Position Open! We need a new Harvest Coordinator. This is a very fun and rewarding position! The coordinator will select mid-week harvesters from a list and keep in touch by e-mail as to what should be harvested. Wednesday will most likely be the best day. Gardeners from Saturday School will harvest every Saturday during the season so you will only be responsible for one weekday. Experience not necessary; we will train. Everything you could possibly need (scale, scissors, knives, gloves, plastic bags and cleaning materials) is on-site. The coordinator will be responsible for weighing the harvest, filling out the reporting form, and arranging transport to the food banks. It's fun to keep a running total of the pounds of fresh vegetables donated and be such an important part of our team! If you are interested please email admin@mukilteogarden.org. __________________________________________________ February 16, 2011  Richelle and Rob Taylor in the bean and pea tunnel! __________________________________________________ |
