June Permaculture Meet up and Regenerate Whatcom Conversation

Hello, my name is Jeanette, and I have a suburban food forest style garden in the Ridgemont neighborhood in Bellingham. I run a small scale nursery and craft my own herbal salves, teas, and tinctures. I also offer regular themed garden tours, such as perennial vegetables, pollinator plants, or my top 15 favorite plants in my garden.

I have a special interest in unusual perennial vegetables, and am always experimenting in that regard. I love to grow berries, mulch crops, plants for pollinators, medicinal herbs, nuts, native plants, and as much fruit as I can. I started my garden in early 2016 and it’s only gotten bigger and more fun since!

I’d love for you to come visit and tour my garden, I love answering questions and having conversations about awesome plants! I will have herbal tea and snacks available, and plants and herbal goods for purchase if anyone is interested. 

I also have an extensive library about permaculture, ethnobotany, and other related topics, and I am more than happy to talk about book recommendations as well. 

I am in an easily accessible neighborhood on the south side of Bellingham. Street parking is available on the street in front and near my house.

Address: 3606 Taylor Ave., near I-5 exit 252.

3 – 6 pm

Please, no dogs. I recommend bringing sun protection, as it often gets quite warm in the back yard. Looking forward to meeting you.

After the tour we invite you to stay for a discussion about David MacLeod’s recent article in Whatcom Watch on “Why Regenerate, Whatcom?” and Joe Shuster’s consideration of planetary boundaries applied to Whatcom County.
