Sustainable Redmond will hold the third of its Spring Speaker Series at 7 p.m. on Monday at Redmond’s Old Schoolhouse Community Center — a change from past meeting venues.

This meeting will highlight community garden initiatives in Redmond as well as Kirkland and Bellevue. The meeting is open to everyone and all are welcome to attend.

Gardens, whether in a community pea-patch, in containers on an apartment balcony or in a back yard can nourish both the individual and the broader community. Panelists from Redmond, Kirkland and Bellevue will discuss garden plots big and small, plus feeding, teaching and building community through urban agriculture.

The featured panelists are:

Redmond City Outdoor Programs administrator, Cindy Johnson discussing Redmond Pea Patches
Edible Kirkland Nourishing Networks volunteer, Joanne Hedou
Co-Chair of Orchard Gardens in Bellevue, Janet Farness

Following the panel discussion, the remainder of the meeting will be allocated for smaller interest groups to gather, exchange ideas, consider potential followups and share contact information as desired. Additional resources on these topics will also be available.
