Hi - Just posted these photos, left and below, tonight (2/8). They're of hard working Nat & Nick. Nick's a FHHS student from Jenny Wilson's Community Projects class who just started work in the greenhouse, as a project, today. Nat is a biologist who came all the way out from the East Coast of the US to work in Friday Harbor after reading about internships on our Land & Sea webpage!! Over the last week or so, Nat and others have put together the greenhouse beds and entry ramp, brought in and amended planting soil, and today Nick started with them working with the soil, filling in paths with donated shredded bark, and getting ready to plant starts! These guys are wonderful!<br />
(Thank you Rikki Swinn for the lumber that surrounds these lovely beds!) <br />
Look for more posts soon - about the greenhouse and about the food to be grown there!! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Another wonderful and long lasting project at the garden was done by FHHS students Kevin Aguilar and Keith Dimmick.</b> </span> This project also originated in Jenny Wilson's Community Service class and was also mentored first by Scott, then by Linda, with support from Jenny, Fred Wood, and the Aguilar family.<br />
First, Kevin and Keith visited Colleen Gregory Howe's Mitchell Bay Farm on a Land & Sea field trip with Linda. There, Colleen gave the boys advice on healthy fruit trees, and a first hand look at bee hives with stories on how they work. Kevin then decided to visit Island Gardens landscaping for information on path-building. He visited Ace Hardware, who generously donated weed mat and path making materials. Keith found sources for shredded bark, and trucking from his dad. With Scott, Kevin and Keith researched path making, made a map, and drew a design. Both young men visited deputy County Administrator Pete Kelly and SJI County Administrator Pete Rose's offices for advice. Both boys worked at the site marking the path area, and Kevin spent one warm afternoon with equipment from Harbor Rental, removing sod with Bruce Robinson, Matt, Linda, and Maureen. Then these two boys designed and - with hard work of their families, built - the beautiful wood chip public path that now runs through the Land & Sea Garden. <br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Hi Everybody</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">We have a great opportunity this coming Saturday (and now a Sunday workshop at 10 am has been added) for anyone interested in learning a bit about pruning older fruit trees! The lovely heritage apple and pear trees located at our garden site on Blair St. across from the High School and Middle School will be pruned this Saturday, at 10 am. (An additional workshop for those who can't come Saturday has been added and will be this Sunday at 10 am.)</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">If you attended the workshop last year then this year will be nice to see how to prune your older tree a following year. If this is new to you, then welcome! You will enjoy your time. Last year, people had to brave a pretty chilly morning but it was so interesting the whole crowd stayed. Who knows what the weather holds this year?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This simple workshop will be about an hour and a half and will be of help to people who have older fruit trees. If you're interested in attending, please let us know by emailing back to </span><a href="mailto:slowfoodlandandsea@gmail.com" shape="rect" style="font-size: 14pt;" target="_blank">slowfoodlandandsea@gmail.com</a><span style="font-size: 14pt;">. or call Linda at 317-5890 (leave a message). We hope to film the pruning - wish us luck!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Hope to see you Sat or Sun's workshop</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">! (or both!) </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>STUDENT GREENHOUSE PROJECT GETS APPROVAL FOR SITING!! CONGRATULATIONS, YOU GUYS!! </b></span></div>
Above: the boys outside the county council office, with one of their 3 mentors, the very kind and wonderful Marion Melville and deputy administrator David Kelly, a really nice guy. Everybody looks so happy! Pete Rose, our County's administrator - also a really nice, thoughtful man - and David Kelly, Debbie Emery (who has given another group of students doing a trails project for Community Service help, by letting them know the pathways everyone uses, as she observes students and others passing below her office window daily as she works), and everyone in the county administration was so helpful and supportive to these guys, even in the middle of all the other hard work they do every day. Maureen See and Ingrid Carlson were also so encouraging to the boys and gave them great technical guidance to prepare for their presentation, and yesterday the Council members had great questions, and seemed to like what the boys put together a lot. After a short, thoughtful discussion, they voted all in favor.<br />
Now the boys go to finish their contract for the grant.<br />
These guys are accomplishing a lot, and thanks to all these wonderful people, they're getting a great education on the way.<br />
Ian posted a story on the boys and their project on the SJ Update, and a generous islander this week sent Land & Sea a donation to the boys, to go towards the costs to maintain the greenhouse. <br />
The boys went to Islanders Bank and opened a special account for the greenhouse with that money - Brenna at Islanders helped us on that, and also gave the guys a lot of background info on the process, and encouragement.<br />
<br />
All those kids in Jenny Wilson's Community Projects class are so great, and she does a great job guiding them. They are all so motivated, it's inspiring to see.<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #274e13;"> </b></span>Land and Seahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10215407401752861721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011323510090346969.post-25151282613130340702011-04-19T20:26:00.000-07:002013-09-12T00:03:24.054-07:00<div style="color: #274e13;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>RYAN, PARKER AND CODY'S COMMUNITY GREENHOUSE PROJECT</b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The three boys from Jenny Wilson's high school Community Service class</b></span> - Cody, Parker, and Ryan - working on building a community greenhouse, hope to site it on this educational garden property. The boys are also putting together a plan b and c in the event this site doesn't work out; for other possible places to use as an alternate set up site, or as places for temporary storage if the greenhouse <i>is</i> sited here, but needs to be moved at a later date to accommodate the county's plans for the property.<br />
<br />
The boys' aim, as they explain it, is to grow greens for the school lunch program in their greenhouse, and make it sustainable by recruiting underclassmen each year to carry oversight of the greenhouse on, and to use the income from the greens to pay for supplies and maintenance. They decided this garden site they're hoping for is a pretty great spot for this use.<br />

<br />
What has happened so far: Land & Sea mentors Scott and Linda visited the Community Services class and talked about the community garden. These three students came up with the greenhouse idea for the site, then worked with Scott on getting a grant to fund the purchase. The agreement the chapter has for use of the property would have to be expanded to allow the boys to site their greenhouse. Scott, Linda and Marion of Land & Sea, as the contractor, checked with the county to see if that might be possible, and got a positive response. In the meantime, thanks to the boys' and mentor Scott's hard work and the work of another greenhouse student years before, the boys were approved for a grant. Now the three boys are working to get on the County Council's agenda to see if final approval from the County Council members is possible.<br />
<br />
Some history: The opportunity for the boys to get this far in this project was also made possible by the work of another Community Service class student a few years back who also was successful in getting funding to build a community greenhouse. That greenhouse was not built due to the difficulty of finding a property owner willing to site the project; the difficulty most times due to liability and related issues. The schools, fairgrounds, and other properties became not possible then for those reasons. His initial work, and the foundation holding the grant, helped make Parker, Ryan and Cody's new project possible.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Cody, Ryan, and Parker's project would be</b></span> under their supervision, under the auspices of Land & Sea Slow Food chapter, so that if sited on the property on Blair and Second it would become part of our county agreement, if approved, and included in our insurance coverage. Land & Sea chapter would be willing to take ownership of the greenhouse in order to make this project possible, with the express intent to turn ownership over to the school or county if ever that is possible or desired by the school or county, and to make the greenhouse completely available for use by the school and community until that time comes. Any other ideas for ownership of the greenhouse will be welcomed; Land & Sea's whole interest in this project is in making it possible. - Any one willing to take on ownership and responsibility in our place so this greenhouse can happen in a timely manner will be welcomed!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The greenhouse </b></span>the boys chose is able to be moved, in case the time should come that the county would need the property for other uses.<br />
These kids are really amazing, and so motivated! They worked on this individually and as a group all through the break to get their project ready to present.<br />
<br />
A separate bank account within our non profit chapter would be opened, would be overseen by the kids who run the project, and would be devoted simply to the greenhouse. Any money coming in through Land & Sea to the greenhouse project will go into this account and then directly back to the greenhouse.<br />
(See info at bottom of post about our main account).<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ryan, Parker and Cody </b><b>are making plans for presentations to the FH Town and SJ County Councils, and will be doing a number of presentations to the public about their project.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We wish them the best with their project. They're amazing boys doing something a lot of people in our county are really excited about! Great job Guys!</b></span><br />
<br />
[Land & Sea chapter's policy on financial donations: Donations go to our account at Islander's Bank. Any and all money that comes in goes directly back out into the community. Although we've rarely actively sought donations, donations offered to us have funded an irrigation system, our insurance coverage for the garden, and a small one-time stipend for our Community Projects/garden manager mentor this season.<br />
Also funded: scholarships to the Quillisascut teaching farm, for 4 local young people so far. These scholarships are ongoing, and especially targeted toward local high school students and graduates, and have been provided by two generous local donors. The experiences the Quillisascut opportunity has provided for kids from our community has been called life changing by the participants. We actively seek young people who have been through Andy and Liz's Food For Thought Chef program. The first student we sent to Quillisascut 2 summers ago was a high school student in our Slow Food Youth program we had placed as an intern with Quail Croft Cheese here on the island. Her scholarship was provided by an island resident who's also allowed us space in her greenhouse on the west side to grow starts in this spring.<br />
Donations from a local working couple will also help fund a farm work internship program for young students, now in the works.]<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Photos above are of sod removal, tilling, planting, irrigating, weeding, harvesting by <a href="http://aboutlandandsea.blogspot.com/">Land & Sea Slow Food chapter</a> volunteers, community members, and students.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="color: #cc0000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Land & Sea Slow Food Garden was started and is run by <a href="http://aboutlandandsea.blogspot.com/">Friday Harbor's Land & Sea Slow Food Chapter</a>, a chapter of <a href="http://www.slowfoodusa.org/">Slow Food USA</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We are a non-profit, operating independently of the SJI school district or other schools. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In providing this garden, we enthusiastically welcome participation by students of all the island's schools for Slow Food Land & Sea sponsored workshops and activities. </span></div>
<div style="color: #cc0000;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We donate produce we grow to Friday Harbor schools and the community at lar<span style="font-size: large;">ge</span>, and work to plant things schools need for their lunch program. We provide learning opportunities of all kinds to benefit students of all ages, including mentoring.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Our mission for this wonderful garden is community participation and education and also supplying needed produce to benefit the school lunch and other <span style="font-size: large;">community </span>programs. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also have arranged for guest speakers at the schools, <a href="http://tinyurl.com/4xvmrw8">including an intern from Ecuador, representing the indigenous cooperative Kallari Chocolate</a>, and <a href="http://www.movingimages.org/page22.html">documentary filmmakers from Moving Images</a>. (<a href="http://slowfoodlandandsea.blogspot.com/2009/03/lots-to-share-hi-its-so-exciting.html">More on the Kallari visit here</a>). We've sponsored community movies at the school, <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/palace-theatre-friday-harbor">Palace Theater</a> ("Food, Inc" - thanks Aaron!) <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3ffaua9">Village at the Harbour</a>, the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3tqufot">FH Library</a>, the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3fl23wg">Drs. Office</a>, and the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3ldxsm5">Friday Harbor House</a>. We've successfully placed high school age<a href="http://tinyurl.com/qc4n5h"> interns with a local farmer</a>, and sponsored <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3t666km">cob-oven building workshops with local youth and families</a> with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/earthlore?sk=info">Ryan Browne</a>. Land & Sea has co-sponsored farmer parties in exchange for our helping out with work and other benefits to farms, and we have hosted many large fisherman dinners with salmon, labor, and space donated by the <a href="http://www.mattsfreshfish.blogspot.com/">Marinkovich family</a>, to welcome visitors and link people to people. We try our hardest to get messages out from farmers <a href="http://tinyurl.com/dfal9p">to our community</a> when we're asked, and to support our <a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/279mdkl">local sustainable agricultural services</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our main web page exists to educate and link people together, and make opportunities for learning and farm work known.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Because of the generosity of a local working family and another kind benefactor, we have been able to send students and other local young people each year to a one week summer full-immersion workshop at the <a href="http://quillisascut.com/farm-school/">Quillasascut teaching farm</a> each summer for the last 2 years, and plan to do this again this summer!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> One</b> of our most wonderful achievements last fall was supplying a community benefit dinner with heritage <a href="http://tinyurl.com/qa4aty">Ozette potatoes</a>. </span><span style="font-size: large;">These delicious potatoes were developed by the native people of our region and are recognized by <a href="http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php">Slow Food USA</a>/ <a href="http://www.slowfood.com/">International</a> on the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/dzyalb">Ark of Taste</a>. The seed potatoes we used to grow them were gathered on Sucia, San Juan and other local islands and donated by biologist Madrona Murphy. The potato crop was</span><span style="font-size: large;"> dug up - harvested - by a cooking class from the high school, which was really exciting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We also do our best to link people to people, and work with other organizations to benefit our local kids and community.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Our garden's irrigation material was provided by generous donations from the Masonic Lodge, and Browne Building Supply. Other generous donors at the start included Harbor Rental, Soroptimists, and Tim Nicol-McGee, in addition to M. Melville, the Degnan-Cobos family and the Marinkovich family. Uprising Seeds and High Mowing Seed companies have also made generous donations, in addition to other kind and much-appreciated community-minded contributors listed on the following posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Declan designed and made us the lovely cedar information podiums around the garden with local materials he gathered from Bill Maas and Dave Hall. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last fall our chapter also supplied the school with greens, beans, squash and garlic gleaned from local farms at the end of their seasons by Land & Sea volunteers. We've also grown and supplied snap peas, beans, and squash in our garden on Blair and Second, and now have garlic, peas, and beans planted. In addition to salad greens and a number of other starts now getting taller by the minute at our greenhouse on the west side of the island.</span><br />

Everyone is welcome. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Great things come out of this little place!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Look at upcoming posts, and at the informational podiums at the garden for info on things like: What does 'nitrogen fixing' mean? How do we keep away deer? And which weeds, pests, and beneficial insects we are encountering in the garden? We will do our best to keep the podiums updated - we are also happy to have volunteers who'd like to do artwork, writing, or photographing for these informational stands. If you have an idea, let us know, we'll do our best to help you make it happen.</span></div>
<br />

THE GARDEN,<br />
MULCHED WITH <a href="http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/ansci/dairy/as1252w.htm">HAYLAGE</a> THOUGHTFULLY DONATED BY BRUCE AND COLLEEN FROM <a href="http://www.igfcmeats.com/3.html">MITCHELL BAY FARM</a>. Colleen called and suggested we pile on some of this lovely hay to protect the soil for winter's cold, and enrich the soil, too. Bruce and Colleen roll hay into bundles and wrap them in plastic - they look like big marshmallows - and allow the hay to break down and slightly ferment, making a nutritious feast for animals and soil that smells like root beer!<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;">Hi Everyone!</span><span style="font-size: 78%;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Here are lovely pictures of our first harvest!</span> - string beans picked in the twilight last week (we couldn't wait - the deer were starting to look just a bit too hungry). These beans were donated to Andy and Liz at the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/26qy6j2" style="color: #006600;">school's Food for Thought lunch program</a> started and run by all San Juan islanders, with initial support from Land & Sea.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">We're planning on putting in garlic and kale and harvesting potatoes next week - stay tuned here and through email for details.To add your name to our email list, contact slowfoodlandandsea@gmail.com. Right now Maureen's getting our events calendar updated, too - we'll link to that as soon as it's ready!<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">And </span>- the amazing Food for Thought program started by Andy & Liz will take up our suggestion to create a food broker/farm liason intern position for students at the high school, and we'll continue to support that however we can. That's been an important missing link for getting local food at good prices into schools, and we are happy that the idea looks like it will take root! This can be great training for a young person - developing relationships, putting together a calling schedule and a system to contact farmers and supply the kitchen - basically, learning to be a food broker - which is something the islands also desperately need on the commercial level between restaurants and growers. And it would be one more way to get good working relationships between the kitchen and people who might not have lots of connections with the school. Good all around!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRToNdy2tM72jgnlckip8vM7Qd3UK3MwboWsy3CtfgxkVZ3XNaPn-WpgaRjaUp8a-3j6Bo5QDAZ7Oieh0Ds1nR1FFBup0P9ESOrHCVxsNOeRAHuWLYXmTTDyd3UvLpkAiGJxl6b9UWPr0/s1600/100_1597.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524509703486963314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRToNdy2tM72jgnlckip8vM7Qd3UK3MwboWsy3CtfgxkVZ3XNaPn-WpgaRjaUp8a-3j6Bo5QDAZ7Oieh0Ds1nR1FFBup0P9ESOrHCVxsNOeRAHuWLYXmTTDyd3UvLpkAiGJxl6b9UWPr0/s320/100_1597.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 238px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /></a><br />

Location: Land & Sea Garden is located in the open field bordered by Blair Ave, Reed St. and 2nd Street in Friday Harbor, directly across from the County Courthouse on 2nd and across Blair Ave from Friday Harbor High School and Middle School. Look for the sunflowers and apple and pear trees.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></span><br />
Land & Sea is the Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, WA chapter of <a href="http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php/slow_food/good_clean_fair/">Slow Food USA</a>. In an agreement with our county, our new organic garden began this June on Blair Ave and 2nd Street in Friday Harbor.<br />
Informational podiums around the garden describe our new garden, what it's for, its history, and what's currently planted. We're now almost ready for our <a href="http://tinyurl.com/qa4aty">Ozette</a> and <a href="http://www.halcyon.com/tmend/plants.htm#Potatoes">Haida potatoes</a> to be harvested, rows to be weeded and turned, and garlic, leeks, and kale to be planted!<br />

Our garden produce will be donated by Land & Sea to the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/26qy6j2">San Juan Island School District's home-grown, island-originated lunch program headed by Liz Varvaro, "Food for Thought".</a> Land & Sea offered logistical and community outreach support to help initiate the program, and we are very happy to now make our new chapter garden and its produce available to the lunch program for meals and the garden available for learning opportunities.<br />
We have also just been given the use of a beautiful greenhouse on the west side of the island that currently is home to 5 potted basil plants, and we are making plans for the growing of greens and culinary herbs.<br />
<br />
Our chapter also will continue our volunteer gleaning program, gleaning produce from local farms to help, too. Chef Andy and Liz are looking forward to using potatoes, squash, and beans from this June's very late planting, and are advising us on what the school lunch program can use next from our garden to help guide our next planting choices.<br />

Hi !<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>What has been going on in our Land & Sea Garden? So much!!</b><br />
<br />
In June our many volunteers removed sod at our lovely plot with help from <a href="http://www.harborrentalandsaw.com/">Harbor Rental</a>, then tilled and furrowed (and found some wire worms), planted beans, <a href="http://huntandgathergirl.com/farming/the-ozzy-osbourne-potato">Ozette</a> and <a href="http://www.curzio.com/N/PotatoCatalog.htm">Haida</a> potatoes, sunflowers, and winter squash, installed a great irrigation system financed by the <a href="http://www.sanjuanmasons.com/officers.html">SJ Masonic Lodge</a>, and today, installed informational podiums to tell you all about it!Land and Seahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10215407401752861721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011323510090346969.post-15209153983868628362011-03-30T10:17:00.001-07:002013-09-11T23:58:03.462-07:00OUR GARDEN - 2 WEEKS AGO!Hi Everyone!<br />
Here are some more pictures of our garden a few weeks back, of the hose and hose bib manifold generously donated by Browne Lumber, our beautiful irrigation system provided by the San Juan Masonic Lodge # 175, the pretty and healthy squash starts provided to us at a very good price by the Ellisons. We removed sod with a big blue sod remover from the great folks at Harbor Rental. The garden is looking great!<br />
Also pictured from a few weeks back are Tim McGee, garden advisor and his able young assistant; garden Mother Marion Melville infusing the garden with goodness; garden workers Lucy and Sophie, with Lucy doing the job of making good wishes for each squash plant after their transplant, as Sophie gives them a good drink for a good start; and Land & Sea co-leaders, planters and weeders Maureen & Linda, with Marion.<br />
<br />
Our garden supervisor Albert Strasser has been careful irrigating and watching over the plants as they grow. Now our sunflowers, and the marigolds that line the short sides of the garden, are beginning to bloom. The potatoes have been flowering for weeks. Squashes and squash blossoms are peeking out from under enormous green leaves trailing across the furrows.<br />
We've been spraying the beans with a mix of egg and water (stinky!!) to keep away the deer.<br />
<br />
When the school year starts, we will make the garden available for field trips from the kitchen classes, and will make a section available for herbs and other plants to be planted during those trips, and used later by Chef Andy and Liz in the kitchen.<br />
<b>The Land & Sea Slow Food Chapter Garden is completely independent of the SJISD School District, but we welcome participation by students of the schools for Slow Food Land & Sea sponsored workshops and activities, and we donate all usable produce we grow to the community or school! </b><br />

<span style="font-size: 100%;"><br />
Planted currently are: Ozette potatoes from Baker Creek Seeds, sourced from Neah Bay, rows 1 & 2; Haida, Sucia, and Maria Cheeks Ozette potatoes sourced from the San Juan Islands - gathered and donated by biologist Madrona Murphy - row 3; mixed sunflowers, row 4; bush beans and black beans mixed with a few sunflowers and basil, row 5; and mixed winter squash, row 6.<br />
<br />
Due to the presence of wire worms, which love potatoes and like to make tiny holes on their surface, we aren't sure how our first crop of taters will turn out, but we do know that they will be a great at breaking up the soil for us, and we will work to try different solutions to the wire worm problem, and post info about our progress here and at the site. A suggestion we heard from Margaret and Joel Thorsen is coffee grounds. Tim told us it takes about 3 years to clear wire worms out. We will try the coffee grounds - good for everything!<br />
<br />
One of the beneficial insects we've seen a lot in our garden lately is the lovely ladybug.<br />
