This year the Pea Patch hosted volunteers to celebrate MLK Day on January 17th. MLK Day is a national holiday dedicated as a day of community service; "A day ON not a day OFF." We invited volunteers to brave the January weather, don some work gloves, and help us get the garden ready for spring. Much to our delight, we had a great crew show up! Students from Port Townsend High School designed and built a mini greenhouse/big cold frame while Ellen and a a volunteer from the Food Co-op laid down sheet mulch and wood chips to expand the garden paths. The rain stopped just in time for our 10am start and it turned out to be a very pleasant day in the garden! If you missed out, we'll be starting regular work days in the next few months, so there will be ample opportunity to lend a hand!
