Garden Camp at Buckley
Garden Camp at Northport
We had an active summer in the hoop house! The campers enjoyed planting and harvesting food from the garden. They tasted sugar snap peas, green and purple beans, carrots, tomatoes, and kohlrabi from the garden.
Wheeler Creek Bike Project
We are building a bike trail in Buckley! We are almost finished with the trail and we would love your help. If you're interested in more information or would like to volunteer, please email marmstrong@northwested.org.
Courtade Workdays
Courtade enjoyed a fruitful summer! Thank you to all the families who joined us to harvest, plant, and weed in the garden. Some highlights were snacking on sugar snap peas, planting new veggies, and Mr. Phillip's garden-grown pickles.
