The Mark Olympia practices “Guerrilla Gardening” B of A was leaving this strip of earth to be spayed for weeds… Slowly and politely we took it over now it is a thriving habitat for bees and small birds… A combination of herbs, clover and wild flowers rebuilding the soil it feeds the neighborhood in more ways than one…
Join campaign to save our bees:
http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5986/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5833A growing body of scientific evidence points to a certain class of agricultural pesticides (neonicotinoids) as one of the key culprits of CCD. The EPA isn’t doing enough to prevent more devastating honeybee die-offs in the years to come. Please join me in signing Slow Food USA’s petition to the EPA, before it’s too late to save the bees.
I am very excited for the first visit to The Mark by the kids from: GRUB http://www.goodgrub.org/
Sharing ideas about the journey to being an entrepreneur, the value of organic foods, and nutrition.
Surely I will learn new things from interacting with them as well!
