PORT ORCHARD
South Kitsap Helpline and supporters will host a fund-raising event
Sunday to help with the purchase of the Port Orchard Nursery. The
event will feature King 5 TV personality and master gardener
Ciscoe Morris, known for his
off-the-wall humor.
Earlier this month, Helpline was awarded a $300,000 grant from the
Birkenfeld Trust through the Seattle Foundation. The grant will
allow the food bank to make a down payment on the property, which
has been for sale by the Greseth family.
The campaign to raise additional funds for the purchase will kick
off with a Garden Festival from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the
nursery, 1012 Mitchel Avenue.
There will be a vendor fair featuring gifts, flowers, plants and
garden art held in the nursery parking lot. Free classes and
workshops for children will also be offered throughout the event.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
Ciscoe will speak from 4 to 5 p.m. Tickets to the talk are $25 and
include a reception from 5 to 6 p.m.
For more information and to make reservations for the Ciscoe Morris
event, call (360) 876-4089.

I’m sorry I can’t be there… I’d sure like to ask Ciscoe about the difference between the sacked compost he used to beautify his garden and the compost some folks buy by the yard, bulk.
It sounds like a wonderful time in store for everyone.
If anyone wants to donate to the cause, where would they send the money?
Have fun… Sharon O’Hara
