Bees at the Summer Smash.
The Lictons Spring P-Patch is holding its second annual Summer Smash from 1-3 pm. Sunday. Everyone’s invited!
The P-Patch is on Northeast 92nd Street just across Interstate 5 from Maple Leaf, on the grounds of North Seattle College.
It’s a potluck so bring something to share.
There will be art activities for the kids, a Master Gardener to answer questions (Laura Matter from Seattle Tilth’s Garden Hotline and also at Picardo P-Patch will attend).
Sam the Bee Man will talk about bee keeping, and our resident historian & geologist will have information on the site.
There is another, smaller P-Patch in Maple Leaf proper at the Maple Leaf Community Garden. For more on the Licton Springs P-Patch go to its Facebook page or click here.
The Licton Springs P-Patch started as a student-driven initiative at North Seattle College. The approval process took several years and has largely been driven by the facilitation of the North Seattle College Sustainability Committee. The project has transitioned to its final community-based form although many North Seattle College students, teachers and employees participate in the garden.
