The Magnuson Park Concept Plan, adopted by Seattle City Council Resolution No. 30063, called for a 4-acre community garden to be located immediately east of the Brig in Magnuson Park. The garden will serve horticultural purposes related to plant education, demonstrating native plant materials, composting, facilities to accommodate gardening for persons with physical disabilities, in addition to relocating the displaced Sand Point P-Patch at NE 70th and the Burke Gilman Trail.

Initially, the lead for planning a community garden at Magnuson Park was the Magnuson Community Garden Coalition, a group of organizations with a common vision to promote urban ecology, environmental stewardship, beautification of the park, education, and healthy food gardening. Public input was sought to present ideas to the coalition and the landscape architect engaged to create a plan for the garden.

Community gardens are part of the concept of providing open space in an urban environment. When Seattle was working on its Urban Village strategy of denser, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods in the city's comprehensive plan, community gardens were considered essential public facilities. Urban gardening can be an important community development tool.

Miziwe Bik Boulevard, Toronto. Community gardens are shared by a group of community members. Either the whole space is communal or each member maintains a plot. Parks, boulevards, abandoned lots and rooftops all make good spots for a community garden. Different types of gardens include vegetable and herb as well as wildlife habitat gardens. For examples of community gardens see the Community Gardens Themes and Ideas Fact Sheet.

The Magnuson Park Concept Plan provided guidance for Magnuson Park design. It included a Concept Plan Map and the 1997 Physical Development Management Plan for Sand Point as amended by Council Resolution No. 30063. The final plan was prepared by Mayor Paul Schell's Blue Ribbon Committee appointed in June 1998, and was the result of months of work city staff and the design team lead by Jones & Jones Architects and Landscape Architects.

We assist new and existing groups with siting, planning, and organizing community gardens. We provide volunteers, garden materials, and information to help the gardens flourish.

It really takes a community to plant and maintain a community garden so make sure you have a committed group of people before you dig. Then contact Community Garden Coordinator Fred Conrad and he will get you started. In addition, we have a Hunger 101 component about Community Gardens. Click here for more on this initiative.

Interested gardeners met in November 1999 to discuss applying to the city for a Neighborhood matching grant to cover the costs of designing a garden in Magnuson Park. A Small and Simple, $10,000 grant was applied for under the name of the Magnuson Gardens Coalition. As part of the grant requirement, gardeners pledged volunteer time (in-kind match) to match the dollars of the grant. The grant was awarded to the group in March 2000 and the process of community outreach and garden design began.

Gophers are a very common rodent found in most areas of North America. They live exclusively underground where they can destroy plants by consuming the roots or pulling the whole plant down into their burrows. The most effective method of removing gophers is through trapping. Specialized traps are available at most hardware stores. Also available are poisoned baits, which are placed within the gopher burrow, though it is often difficult to find a bait attractive to your particular gopher.

A compilation of suggestions from our readers: I've had pretty good luck using bird netting. It's been especially good if I stretch it over a pvc pipe framework (which I spray painted green to be less obvious). I use it over some raised

Chicken manure is high in nitrogen, so it is considered "hot". It will need to be composted before putting it directly onto your garden. once it has broken down, it then becomes perfect food for the garden. A Polyphemus moth rests on the outside of the coop. Good thing! If it were on the inside, it would make a tasty snack for one of the hens.

A good place for the information you seek is a university extension office. For example, if you go to the Florida Cooperative Extension Service's Wildlife Resources page, you can click on the link to "Problems Caused by Wildlife," then to "Detailed Fact Sheets," then to "Moles," then to "Damage and Control."

ANSWER: The most important ingredient in a butterfly garden is host plants. A host plant (larval food plant) is the plant a butterfly or moth caterpillar eats. Butterfly caterpillar's diet is so specific that they can usually eat only one species or one family of plants. For example, if all the milkweed in the world died, all Monarchs would die. To attract Monarchs, plant milkweed.

ANSWER: We often ask, "Can we get rid of ants in our gardens?" We spread ant bait in home made traps. These traps allow ants in but keep water out. We discovered that if we spread ant killer under host plants, irrigation and rain will dissolve the chemical and wash it over the roots. The roots draw up the chemical which will change the taste of the plants. When a female butterfly lands on a leaf (they taste with their feet) they will often lift off and not lay eggs.

ANSWER: It is easy to scare deer temporarily from a garden but a permanent answer to this question may not be available. We found the best results with Irish Spring soap. Yes, bars of soap. We place the soap by the plants the deer prefer for lunch. For several weeks to several months, the plants which hadn't had a chance to grow for five months grew with appreciation. Deer returned after a couple of months. The best results, we suspect, will come from a mixture of methods.

For approximately 4,000 years after the Adamic family had left it, the island peninsula was inhabited by various peoples, the last group being lower-grade descendants of the Nodite race. Approximately 33,800 years ago, the easternmost end of the Mediterranean Basin became flooded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean due to the breakage of the Gibralter Dam and the consequent submergence of the Sicilian land bridge.

A multi-purpose garden was envisaged on the designated 4-acre site. Its design was integrated into and compatible with the surrounding environment. When completed it will include neighborhood gardening, educational opportunities such as demonstration gardens, composting methods, and native plant cultivation with program opportunities for seniors, transitional housing residents, youth, and the handicapped as well as neighborhood P-Patch gardeners.

The current condition of your garden, the type of problems it has, and how long it has had them will determine what type of program you will need to start in order to bring it to health. A garden that has good drainage and relatively good soil, but that has been maintained chemically, will turn around quicker than one that has poor drainage, poor soils and a chemical background. There are also a variety of programs one can undertake depending on time, funds and preferences.
