Johnson about this effort:
The Sustainable South
Sound Urban Agriculture Program recently obtained
permission to develop a new community garden in
Northeast Olympia on a piece of land that was
formerly part of a certified organic farm. Our
vision is to develop a sustainable organic garden in
the heart of a dense urban neighborhood. The goal
of this meeting is to discuss the vision, make
preliminary plans for the growing season, and
solidify personal and organizational commitments to
the project.
