ATTENTION GARDENERS: Windermere Community Service Day is coming up and we’d love your help!

Since 1984, Windermere associates have dedicated a day of work to complete neighborhood improvement projects as part of Windermere’s Community Service Day. After all, real estate is rooted in our communities. And an investment in our neighborhoods gives us all a better place to call home.

Our office will spend the day with the Snohomish Garden Club working to put fresh produce on the tables of local families who need a little help. We will plant over a half-acre of veggies and fruits that will be harvested over the summer and into the fall.

If you’d like to pitch in, we are looking for additional veggie starts. Let me know if you have some starts already going or if you would like to prepare some now that you would be willing to donate. Our planting day is Friday, June 9th; I can arrange the details with you for drop off or pick up! 

The garden specifically needs: 

• Scallions 
• Snow/Pod Peas (please no shelling peas) 

• Chard 
• Lettuce (the food banks require headed varieties, rather than loose-leaf) 
• Squash (any kind, EXCEPT yellow crookneck) 
• Cabbage/Broccoli/Kohlrabi/Cauliflower/Collards/Kale 
• Peppers (early maturing varieties work great: ~70-day range) 

• Herbs (never enough Basil and Parsley!) 
• Flowers (marigolds, nasturtiums, or any annuals)
