These are Fotos from a Bellingham work party, March 8 and 9. The task was to sheet mulch- grass to garden, a major edible landscaping project. Over 40 people took part. Looks like a lot of fun! A lot was learned because it was also a workshop.

Given an opportunity, many people will volunteer, especially if its a good time for a good cause.

Raised beds and fruit trees. This will fill in nicely. The starkness will pass in only a few years.

The idea to do such a work party came from an out of town visitor who suggested work parties for such a task is a great idea. So they did but probably would have figured it out anyway. Its gratifying to see it happen. Only another 20 or 30,000 more to go.
