SEQUIM — Hope springs eternal, poet Alexander Pope said, and this spring in Sequim, hope will bear fruit.
And vegetables. And flowers and herbs.
The Community Organic Garden of Sequim, after two years of hoping, wishing and finally planning, will open by early May on a one-fifth-acre parcel off North Fifth Avenue.
Everybody is invited to get into the growing game — and produce some fresh food for a few bucks spread over the season, said organizer and Pam Larsen.
The garden is for Sequim seniors, youngsters and others who don’t have their own land for gardening, she said. — and “for people who feel they can’t afford to buy organic food, this give them an option. It’s a pretty inexpensive option.”
Larsen plans to teach a free organic gardening course to community-garden-plot holders. The series of four or five classes, yet to be scheduled, will also be open to others for a $25 fee.
