Proof if you whine long enough, people listen.....Burien will soon have a Bee-Patch of it's own. It will be similar to the Seattle P-Patches, but all Burien. The garden will be in the front yard of a City owned house west of the old Community Center.The address is 437 SW 144th St. The P-Patches in Seattle have waiting lists of up to 3 years toget a space. The Parks Department will start taking applications on April 19 and the deadline is May 2, plots will be assigned by May 12. If you or someone you know is interested in getting one of the available plots make sure an application is filed between the 19th and the 5th. Do not apply early, you'll just have to do it again. Plot assignments will be by lottery so there's no advantage to being first. Applications will be available from the Parks Department website, by email, or by phone.Check the Sustainable Burien site for details. The ground has been tilled, but there's still a lot of work to do to get it ready for planting. More will be coming on this...
My mom plans on applying for a "B-Patch"- Hopefully more will be created in Burien. It's just so cool to think something you had a small part in dreaming of becomes a reality. Council member Lucy Krakoviak said today at the Sustainable Burien meeting that this got streamlined because of the demo garden we planted last summer. So part of the original Community garden at the now defunct BIAS site will live on in spirit.
