SEATTLE MILLION FLOWER COMPOST EN ROUTE
TO BATTERY PARK CITY FOR SEPT 28 GARDEN RENEWAL CEREMONY
Sept '01: The Liberty Community Garden in Battery Park City is mostly
obliterated when the garden is used as a staging area by rescue and clean
up trucks after 9-11.
Today, Sunday, Sept 22, 2002: P-Patch
gardeners in Seattle filled each of 32 clam and oyster boxes with 40-50 lbs of
the Million Flower Compost, made by hundreds of volunteers at the Interbay
P-Patch from one million flowers brought by 75,000 people to the Seattle Center
Flower Vigil after September 11, 2001. P-Patch gardener David Smead
delivered the boxes to Taylor Shellfish Farms in Shelton WA
today as the first leg of the compost's imminent historic cross
country journey.
The cubic yard plus of Million
Flower Compost, currently sitting on a pallet in the Taylor plant, will soon be
loaded into an LD3 container for air shipment to New York's John F Kennedy
airport. Taylor Shellfish Farms has generously donated the freight costs to
deliver the Million Flower Compost to New York. At the Liberty Community
Garden Rededication Ceremony 11:00 am to noon, Saturday, September 28th in
Battery Park City in lower Manhattan, a delegation from Seattle
including Seattle City Councilmember Richard Conlin, poet Ann Hursey,
singer/songwriter John Van Amerongen and Mason Shigenaka, age 7, from
the John Sanford International School, will present the Million Flower Compost,
as a metaphor of renewal of the earth as well as the human spirit, to the
Liberty Community Garden on behalf of the Seattle P-Patch Community and the
City of Seattle.
