Terra Commons will be hosting an Edible Forest Garden Work Party on Saturday May 31st, and Sunday June 1st to establish a demonstration forest garden at Circle Hawk Farm in South East Olympia 9404 Crete St. SE.

During this work party we will be doing hands on learning by sheet mulching lawn and planting an Edible Forest Garden.
Edible Forest Gardens consist of three main layers, with fruit and nut trees as the upper canopy, berries and other edible bushes as the middle layer and perennial vegetables and fruits as the ground cover.
The work party includes:
~Design and layout of trees and shrubs
~Planting trees and shrubs
~Sheet Mulching lawn
~Mushroom Inoculation

We will be there from 10am until 6pm both days with potluck lunches. Feel free to come for both full days, half days or just stop by when you can.
Please Park on the paved part of Crete Street, then walk in. Circle Hawk Farm is the first driveway to the left, come back and you will see us behind the barn.

Ah, spring - the time to clean house and throw stuff out. Wait! Could that junk have another life as a piece of art? Or are you an artist who just needs a place to sell your funky stuff? Spend the day with local artists and turn that clutter into cash at the Artists Garage Sale, Saturday, May 31, from 10am-3pm at the Armory on Eastside Street! Here are some ideas for things you can sell:

-Art books and old magazines
-Art supplies you no longer use - everything from that stained glass hobby to supplies for printmaking, jewelry, ceramics, rug-hooking - whatever!
-Old CD's and records
-Equipment: kilns, mat cutters, photography stuff
-Old instruments that would love to be played
-Electronics: audio and visual, moving image
-And if you are an artist - sell your artwork, crafts, recordings, chapbooks, etc.
