The South Seattle College is hosting an exciting new horticulture project and we welcome plant lovers from West Seattle and beyond to join Team Mahonia! You may be familiar with 'Oregon Grape', which is a a part of the genus Mahonia. We are researching over 90 cultivars - many from other regions - to find the best ones for the Pacific Northwest.
Monthly maintenance work parties are set for Third Thursdays (4-6 pm) and Last Saturdays (10 am-noon), where we will also provide snacks, coffee and tea. This is a unique opportunity to participate in ‘citizen science’: not only will you support a one-of-kind project, but you get to witness a wide variety of features as the plants evolve and grow up.
Please note our Third Thursday Work Party will be on hiatus November-February- due to reduced daylight hours.
