Urbanist Book Jam
Wednesday, March 12, 2025
6:30PM - 8:30PM
Third Place Commons
Urbanist Book Jam is kinda like a book club, except instead of everyone reading the same book, we all read different books, and then everyone has five minutes to present the most IMPORTANT, most COMPELLING, most MIND BLOWING ideas in the book to everyone else. This isn't school - you won't be graded and we encourage passion, style, and weirdness. You'll come away 10 times smarter, probably save a bunch of time, and make some new friends! Want to present a book? Let us know in the survey and we'll send some pointers for your presentation. Don't want to present a book? No problem!!

Seeds: Start, Swap, and Share
Sunday, March 16, 2025

In this class, we’ll work together to start vegetables, flowers, and herbs from seed. By pooling our resources we can check this task off of our garden chore list, rather than waiting too long and, yet again, buying plant starts from the nursery. By starting plants from seed we have access to more varieties than are usually readily available. Please bring any seeds you have to share and any small containers to start seeds in. If you have any shadow plant trays to bring home your starts, please bring them. We’ll have some supplies on hand as well.
 
About the instructor, Susan Gregory: Susan is a landscape designer with many years of experience both designing and implementing small and large landscape projects. She holds a degree in landscape design from Edmonds Community College and completed a permaculture course with Toby Hemenway. She ran a successful design/build company for 12 years.
