Use parks and open space funds to buy 5265 18th Ave SW property for the Puget Ridge Edible Park.
Sustainable Puget Ridge in West Seattle is writing a grant to purchase available property to establish an edible park, P.R.E.P., Puget Ridge Edible Park. This would be a multi grassroots group research and educational center for urban farming and local food production.

Plant edible perennials in our parks
With food security and global warming issues at the top of policy lists, we should use every park in the city to demonstrate edible perennials and as a source of local, easily maintained food. Many fruits, nuts and berries do beautifully in our climate and edible perennials are particularly appropriate for our parks (as opposed to annual vegetables that are being grown in our all too few P-Patches). This helps implement the council's local food initiative and is an exciting tool to involve communities in their parks and educate everyone about edible perennials and what they can create in their own neighborhoods and yards.
Cheers, Daniel Johnson

With bioswales and raingardens, what an opportunity to show how homes, gardens, and cars can coexist in the Puget Creek Watershed.

This sounds like a great idea, beneficial to the community and to the environment!
