Anthony Warner and Tiana Colovos came out to talk about the Orca K-8 School Garden. Thanks to all of you who came out this weekend to listen to our speakers, watch the demos, pick up some books from our partners Readers to Eaters, who volunteered as part of the national Slow Food Dig In! day, and chatted with us about Slow Food. All of this was in support for the Pike Place Market Foundation's Human Service Programs.
