The whole fam was kind enough to join me for at the Kubota Garden for Seattle Works Day. Kubota is an immaculate, multi-acre Japanese garden deep in the south end. Country Girl and I had been once before, enjoying our tour of the grounds tremendously. Seattle Works Day is a volunteer bonanza with several events set out around the city involving 1,000+ volunteers culminating with a party at Seattle Center with free food, drink and music for participants. 
During the event, we learned that there are several more undeveloped acres adjacent to the garden. There, we removed non-native blackberry and ivy. We finished off with a smile by planting some brand new native plants.
Country Girl and City Boy: Thank you so much for sharing this awesome experience from Seattle Works Day 2014. We're busy preparing for Seattle Works Day 2015 (6/6)- would love to chat about your experience and see if you have any likes/dislikes that we can work on honing in on this year, or general advice for this epic event.
