March 5th, 2010 · 11 Comments

Charlie Hoselton has a vision for an urban garden on the west side of Queen Anne hill where neighbors can share organic growing space. He’s been working with the city on getting the permits necessary to begin work on 20 garden plots on two large medians along Gilman Drive W. and 13th Ave. W. and is looking for community members interested in helping to build and use this community garden. He wrote,

How would you like your own little plot of dirt to organically grow vegetables, berries, herbs and flowers.

I am looking for cohorts in creating a living, functional, beautiful oasis…Want to get your hands in some dirt?

He’s holding a Friends of Gilman Urban Gardens planning meeting tomorrow, Saturday, March 6 at 9 a.m. at the medians and encourages interested parties to drop by and discuss the future of the organic urban oasis he envisions. For more information, contact Charlie at friendsofgilman.urbangardens@hotmail.com.
